What a bizarre pile of mystical euroism. NXP/Phillips sued a university to quash research about the garbage security of their contactless smartcard implementations. I'd rank NXP/Phillips way down at the bottom of the stack with state-owned Chinese semi firms.

The modern NXP has a rotten company culture. Which is unfortunate since Freescale that got bought by them had a much better culture.

My experience with ex-Freescale employees has been a consistent tire fire. If NXP is worse…

The semi industry is really cutthroat. Outside of US giants, Intel, Nvidia, Quallcomm, and recently AMD, who cream the highest margins as their products are basically irreplaceable, the rest of the semi companies (including most EU ones) are just competing for cost (barring the current shortage where they could amp their prices too).

Your wording here clearly shows you have something against Europe and possibly Europeans. I won't be reading any of your comments from here on.
