Just a heads up that PC Engines is winding down. The chip they use in the APU2 is EOL, and they've decided to shut down altogether. | ||

Wildly ironic that an EU company doesn't ship to the EU. Regulatory compliance shouldn't be hard. The idea is to quell negative externalities, not to shut off innovation itself. > Because of unbelievably bureaucratic recycling regulations, PC Engines will NOT sell directly to end users within the EU. https://pcengines.ch/order.htm > EU - a single market ? > Far from it, there are separate registration and recycling schemes for each of the 28+ EU member jurisdictions (and even a few of their provinces). What part of COMMON MARKET was so hard to understand for EU lawmakers ? Since there is no single registration available, and separate registration would involve mindboggling complexity, bureaucracy and costs, we do not sell to EU end users until the EU gets their act together. Please order from EU based distributors, or as a business customer. > Business customers are expected to meet their obligations by registering in the EU countries they sell in. | ||
