r/BuyFromEU

Which european company has the strongest brand? A name that most people know?

With the June 19 deadline coming up fast, this new EU consumer law is going to noticeably change how we buy online. The whole idea behind it is simple: backing out of an online contract or order should be just as easy as it was to buy it in the first place.

If a store actually complies, they have to add a permanent, easily accessible withdrawal button on their site and automate an instant email receipt the second a customer uses it. If they ignore the rule or miss the date, they face massive fines up to 4 percent of their annual turnover.

Since we are just a few weeks away, what is the actual vibe across European e-commerce right now? Are shops actively pushing these front-end updates live, or is everyone just waiting to see how strictly regulators enforce it on day one?

Over the past month, I created accounts on nearly every European social network. But the problem was always the same: Reddit, Instagram, and similar platforms have much better data, and the content creators or groups I needed were nonexistent.

So I finally found feedes.com, which I now use DAILY from the moment I registered. Without any accounts on the big 5 (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, X), it still offers the same quality of content as those platforms.

It's in beta, but it's already perfect for what I need and I could uninstall some US apps from my device.

I am willing to invest in ETFs over long-term. However most of them goes for American companies and big techs. Are there any ETFs for EU based companies? I have access to ING, Revolute and Etoro.

Title basically

I'd like to get a 3D printer. I know some brands which are supposedly good and also they have a large catalogue of blue print to use.

Can blue prints be used in any 3D printers?

Also what are some of the good ones from Europe?

Thanks

I need to find game engines that are "EU friendly".

Right now the whole scene is dominated by 2 USA companies:

• Unreal: Owned by EPIC, Tencent, etc.
• Unity: Created by danish but moved to USA because greed. Enjoy the irony of danish entrepreneurs paying taxes in the USA to save money so they can get Greenland taken.

The alternatives:

• Godot: which is opensource. Works well for Linux and Android. Wonderful for 2d but not as advanced as its competitors for 3D. I heard it's strong for multiplayer but I would love confirmation in that area. No royalties ever.

Yout thoughts? I'd love to go with Godot, but I am looking forwards to make some online games and I feel it will be an uphill battle...

Do you have other alternatives? What is your experience?

P.D.: The case of Unity is poignant as fuck. It should be elevated as the prototypical example of how rhe E.U. has mistreated is tech ecosystem, corporate greed, and the long term consequences of it all.
