There is no digital without chips.

Today, the European Chips Act enters into force.

It will support investment and research facilities so #Europe can become an innovation powerhouse with a strong stake in the global market:

- Supporting technological capacity building and innovation
- Ensuring security of supply and resilience by attracting investments
- Establishing coordination with and across countries

This is a step forward in determining our own destiny.

Below the circle, the European Commission logo is displayed.

@EU_Commission I thought the Netherlands is the most important producer of chip-making machines ?

ASML, they are very important, but they seem to prefer obscurity

@EU_Commission Charles Babbage (b. 1791, d. 1871) might not agree with the first statement.

He invented the first digital computer a century before chips, other than potato chips, were invented 😎

And first potato chip recipe is from year 1817.

I presume you wrote this comment on Babbage computer compatible.

Did you perhaps write your browser and network stack yourself?

Would you share it?

@simoivanov @EU_Commission Actually I've written multiple network stacks in my career 😎

The stuff happening between Ethernet network interface and web browser is my cup of tea.

@oherrala @EU_Commission actually, you didn't answer the question, smarty-pants.

@EU_Commission there will not be innovation if time is wasted for stupid initiatives like #chatcontrol
