So Google is telling us, they cant make a product if there are standards or requirements for what they are doing?

That means whatever US customers are buying, theres something in it, that does something illegal in EU.

This is why companies want US citizens to believe that EU is a bureaucratic hellscape (I mean there’s also the forces that want to tell them it’s communist for the same reason I guess)

Aah, the US.

The only place in the world where everyone knows the word ‘communism’ and nobody knows what it is.

Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:

Still ruled by descendants of communists who took power in those countries, though.

They call the product line ‘Nest’, because it’s where their data servers is getting nutrition from.

I think most of the “requirements” they’re referring to are the technical ones, not governmental.

North America’s residential HVAC landscape is pretty simply and dumb compared to a lot of what is happening in Europe. Dumb forced central air systems dominate residential HVAC.

It sounds like they don’t like developing for all the weird hardware configurations that appear in Europe.
