Schrijnende heimwee naar een auto met knoppen en klokken. Zeker als je digitale dashboard van je Volkswagen uit het niets er de brui aan geeft. (2.000 euro)

Waar moet je op letten bij doorverkochte kaartjes voor concerten, festivals en sportevenementen? Wapen je tegen woekerprijzen (5.800 euro voor een #Taylor-#ticket), valse entreebewijzen en opkoopbots in NRC nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/06…

Just started reading 'Focus' by marc hijink 🎱nrc about ASML, the powerhouse behind cutting-edge semiconductor technology #long $ASML

ASML I'm really enjoying Marc Hijink's book about ASML. I showed it to several Cambridge Professors last week who need to read it. It really does capture the challenges and culture of Electronic Engineering and manufacturing very well.

Inside 'Operation #Beethoven': how the Dutch government tried to stop ASML from 'leaving' the Netherlands. A turning point in industrial policy, for the #chip sector and ASML's leap of growth. The wait was for Mark #Rutte's decisive push. In NRC nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/06…

Een #audiobook van #Focus staat op de planning. Tot die tijd kun je je oren laven aan dit @NRC-profiel van beide oud-topmannen van ASML, Martin van den #Brink en Peter #Wennink, prachtig voorgelezen door Nienke Brinkhuis. NRC #luisterboek nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/06…

Geld betalen als je #stroom teruglevert, dat is vanaf deze zomer praktijk. Moet je je #zonnepanelen dus maar uitzetten als je op #vakantie gaat? NRC maakt een rondje langs de experts. #terugleveren #tarief #saldering #omvormer #kwh #thuisaccu nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/07…

Our next #HCSSbookshelf recommendation comes from assistant analyst Ayla Elzinga: “Focus: The ASML Way” by Dutch journalist marc hijink 🎱nrc, about the multibillion-dollar company that finds itself in the midst of a global power struggle.

Not many Dutch gadgets make it to Best Buy or Home Depot shelves. However, the #Homey #smarthome hub is an exception. This innovative technology was acquired by LG전자. Meet the two young founders, now millionaires. NRC nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/07… nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/07…

Well, this was certainly one of the most authentic and captivating books in a while. Where physics and technology meets business and government.

The #Nearfield 'nano-recordplayer', a Dutch innovation using atomic force microscopy, is indispensable for manufacturing advanced #AI #chips. #Samsung #TSMC and #Intel are buying these new #metrology machines. No export to #China for now. NRC #asml #amat nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/08…

This year @Intel lost 53% of its market cap. In fact, the US company lost its edge in 2019, the moment #TSMC and #Samsung fired up their #EUV production. Back in May, I discussed #ASML’s role in this, with Dan Hutcheson of TechInsights DIGITIMES Asia youtu.be/Z-YDKxdfCbQ?si…

This is what you get when you mix #ChipWar with #ASML #Focus and Indonesian food. Please excuse my weird grin after a wonderful dinner with Chris Miller in #Amsterdam.

The digital arms race for #AI supremacy is shifting from #chip factories to the #cloud. Why buy or build #AI chips if you can rent them? Companies affiliated with the Chinese state have easy access to US AI-services, according to Reuters. #techwar NRC nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/08…
