too many taxes, regulations, etc... also full of söi bois that will die if they have to work more than 30 hours in a week

mfw i only know spotify and avast

mikrotik

No, innovation is very cucked there because of socialism

>too many taxes, regulations,
Somewhere deep in here is a link explaining how in America companies are actually migrating to states with more regulations. In the meantime I hope you dislike Atlas Shrugged

patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/series/atlas-shrugged/

didnt read but that seems wrong. companies are fleeing CA, NY, IL and going to TX AZ etc

wow, afghanistan looks like a great place to live according to that graph.

It would if the US stopped fucking it up.

How does your pic support your claim?

>also full of söi bois that will die if they have to work more than 30 hours in a week
I got a life outside my work. And seeing how inefficient people are at work, I'm pretty sure a lot of job could be done in 20 hours per week instead of 35 or 40.

there's no time to start a technology company when you spend 24/7 complaining about americans

Well, everyone is equally poor. Tends to happen after 50 years of invasions.

>talks about tech companies but posts meme startups image
SAP
Telekom
Siemens
Bosch
tons of car manufacturers

>too many taxes, regulations, etc... also full of söi bois that will die if they have to work more than 30 hours in a week

you just described california, the hotbed of tech work in the USA

abb, dassault systemes, airbus, schneider, a fuckton of pharma companies, etc

americans like to make these threads to feel good about themselves, it's fine

Yes, in fact some of the most important ones are in Europe.

Google is not a tech company, it's an advertising company.
Facebook is a data collection company.
Apple is a fashion company.

Intel is probably one of the few important tech companies in the US, but they're kinda failing lately. Intel has production facilities in many countries, so it's hard to call it an American company, it's a multinational now.

You could say that Microsoft is a tech company, inasmuch as it still makes some software. But they're also getting in the fashion gadget business like Apple.

ARM is in Europe and is gaining more and more market share.
NXP Semiconductors is Europe and is one of the biggest chip makers.
Logitech is in Europe.
Spotify is in Europe, but it's just an app, not really tech.
Lots of pharma companies are in Europe too.
Siemens.
Bosch.
Miele.
The list can go on and on.

What the USA has is mostly hyped up advertising, data-mining companies, fake startups that sell Juicero kind of products, a lot of hyped bullshit that nobody needs.

Volkswagen, Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot Citroën, Fiat-Chrysler, Renault, Autoliv, Dassault, and Siemens.

>finland
>no Nokia

Doesn't Germany have Tutanota, and Switzerland have Protonmail and Wire?

Almost all big American tech companies are there because of government support. Apple might be the only exception. It's hypocritical that Trump accuses the Chinese of giving their companies an unfair advantage, they themselves do it just as much.
Really think Facebook and Google survive just by selling advertisements?

>Really think Facebook and Google survive just by selling advertisements?
They sell targeted ads

opensuse is good

Which only goes to show how inadequate its explanatory power as it pertains to the subject it truly is.

Never heard of netopia
But a better known company from romania is bitdiffender

That's part of their business, but that alone wouldn't keep them afloat. They get paid by the government to spy on you.

The NSA invests billions into spying in data centres, they don't really need to pay anyone.

Yandex for the Russians? It's pretty fucking elaborate and a decent thing.

>it's all webshit that's probably only popular within that country
heh

Europe has ARM

You can only be focused for short bursts, and are better off going home after you've run out of mojo.
Eurofags do nothing for 30% of the duration they're at work. Yanks and Japs do nothing for 90%.

Nokia is history

Nice you want me to change your diaper too?

DeepMind for England

Haven't heard of this thing called 5G, have you?

Yeah, apprantely they're about to get btfo by the same company

EU has customer protection laws so you can't just harvest the data and spy on people, so it's harder to develop here

Goddamn Ericsson

This is the least accurate, most uninformed post ever. Work weeks in European countries average to 38h per week. Some countries even limited the legal work hours to 48h a week because people worked too much. taxes and regulations are not really in the way of the tech companies, the most tech companies in Europe are just B2B focused, or very local only instead of trying to cover the whole world. We have this thread every week. It's always the same with fags like you spreading lies because you're seething.

>Does euope have any significant technology companies?
Basically, no. No venture capital, some American companies have a monopoly in their niche (impossible to develop an alternative), the market is heavily fragmented despite the single market meme

>Delivery Hero over SAP in Germany

I can't believe the american brainlets are THIS DUMB.

You took this shit hella personal cuz lmfao

So I shouldn't state facts on Jow Forums?

Does this count?

Best what little research I made, it seems like Europe falls behind on web-based tech? All the well known tech companies produce hardware.

we make boring stuff like home appliances (which are much better than any american or gook trash by the way)

This thread is about Europe, not Commiefornia. You realize your largest tech companies seek tax havens in Ireland and other European countries?

If only those fessi wouldn't charge 50€ for the same kind of "premium feeling" bullshit apple sells they wouldn't have to compete with 1€ chinese clones. Another lesson that Italy stronk but we don't actually have an idea how to manage it.

It's not 50€.
Plus you get a product made in Italy, obviously it's not going to compete with a chink clone. You pay for QC, same for raspberry Pis.
Except Pi has a really strong community so clones clearly lack in support, but with Arduino you may just as well get a clone because microcontrollers are just simpler and Arduino Foundation supports them as well, being Open and all.

Arent they just some asian company using the name phillips? Same way nokia has no presence in Finland anymore and it all just some chinese company?

Alot of european companies mentioned here are just chinese home appliance factories, they hardly invent anything or do scientific research. From purely research and innovation standpoint Europe is lagging behind usa and asia.

Maybe not 50 but 20+€ for a board that just interconnects a .50€ MCU to the outside world plus some extra components to make it talk with a computer? "Made in italy" should be a reason to buy not a feature to sell in my opinion: I wanted to do an illumination project and the number of features I wanted made me consider a Mega; now that thing cost 35€ on the official arduino store, on Aliexpress I bought 2 for 16€ and they are still there, one collecting dust the other doing its job. Quality isn't that big of a concern anymore with chink stuff nowadays.
Still point being: is a big product, if just it was sold for a price a little more realistic maybe they would have become bigger.

Ireland may not have man tech companies but Atari was founded in the South of Ireland and now, medical companies are a main stake in the country

Finland used to be the largest phone manufacturer

>rnd is not free
>make it open source and free for all
what's the point of charging for it then?

im third worlder and what you just wrote is giant horseshit.

If 35 euros is an issue then yeah buy from china, but if its not too much then buy locally or at least buy from eu so the money stays in Europe.

>rnd is not free
There's no r&d in those shit computers

This map seems like a load of horseshit to highlight some shitty startups.

WWII chased away all the smartest people from Europe.

The Netherlands has a bunch. Philips and ASML probably being the most famous ones.
We also have a lot of data centers. And some big sites like booking.com

absolutely based - technology is the knowledge, processes and tools humanity has used to increase its standard of living.

The internet is for porn.

Attached: web.jpg (960x684, 167K)

Why is the Netherlands second on this chart?

Reputation, data centers and porn websites. In other European countries you run a higher risk of running into prude or tech illiterate regulators.

Xvideos, xhamster and xnxx are three of the biggest porn websites in the world and they're all hosted in the Netherlands

wtf, I love Netherlands now

Ugh I'm tired of this same thread popping up every week and American and Europeans throwing shit at each other. It's all so tiresome.

This is a non-meme answer.
It's actually not about socialism, but every time a European company is mildly successful, a US company will come along and buy it up.
Investors and founders are too much cowards to think really, really big. They make a successful company, then some US titan like Cisco or Microsoft comes along and offers a ridiculous amount of money for the company, and they sell instead of thinking they could build it bigger themselves.

ASML is the most important tech company in the worls, if the EU were to ban them from exporting to the USA the USA would become a third world country over night.

Hah, a while ago I started a webshop. And within 3 years it was bought by some company that trades in brands.

blabla car is more fucking cancerous than uber or lyft.
Im actually surprised spotify is not californian, but I guess this makes sense.
> You realize your largest tech companies seek tax havens in Ireland and other European countries?
...and rarely employ significant numbers in those countries. Double irish/dutch sandwich companies often literally only employee 1 person in ireland.

And even if you're "just" Velux or Fendt, you're still doing a good job and it's actually probably better for the market and you as customer than some near-monopoly (/ hard to migrate away from thing) like SAP.

true

Europe has many tech companies. Just not many social media companies.

It's not just porn but data centers in general.
Amsterdam has the 3rd largest internet exchange in the world, a centralized location, and good environment for tech workers.

Also many companies you probably don't know, like:
u-blox.com - yes, they're not an absolute giant, but trading US$400m in GPS modules isn't nothing either. That's quite a lot of GPS modules.

Arduino boards are mere breakout boards. A board which only contains a microcontroller, linear regulator and a usb to serial converter doesn't require much R&D. Designing a PCB for a circuit which can be implemented on a breadboard under 5 minutes isn't really significant. It's their IDE and bootloader which require actual effort.

Europe invents tech.
Asia manufactures tech.
America sells tech.

What the hell is AdasWorks? I live here but I've never heard of this shit

And not that many monopolistic behemoths.

Europe would probably put obstacles in the way or even block if Stihl wanted to buy Bosch or vice versa. It is just overall not desirable to have monopolies.

yeah but we signed this deal with the jews that makes the us the best at everything

This is typical for European tech companies.
They specialize in a specific area and sell components rather than finished products.

The end consumer will never hear about them, but they are what make their devices possible and where the vast majority of innovation comes from.

>Belarus
they made World of Tanks though.

It bothers me and it's an issue because paying 4 times as much for a project just for the "made in italy" etiquette is riduculous and wasteful in resources as I could've invested those money in even more features. Also 8€ is an acceptable loss if I mess up something (and it happens that I fried stuff, "muh just be careful" can't be always applied) whereas 35€ is more considerate.
Maybe is more of an american thing to jerkoff really hard to the muh internal market and made in usa, but I don't care, just retarded talk in a ever so globalized economy.

The US thing to jerk off to the internal market made a lot of sense for a long while.

Ultimately who else delivered decent engineering back then? China/Japan/S.Korea were shit at the time & Europe was 240V and too far away to keep consumer goods cheap.

If you wanted solidly over-engineered machines as a not rich person, you bought US products, eh. Now many of them are planned obsolescence crap though, so you might actually be better off buying Euro or Chinese products in various (not all) instances...

Wtf you guys know Blablacar?

>studies time and time again show shorter work weeks increases productivity and well being for employees

Of course an American wouldn't support such things when you can torture people with 80 hours with the same amount of work output done.
