> this is a $30 device to hook up TVs,

Nitpick, but more like $70; you may be confusing Chromecast Ultra with the base Chromecast.

Yes, you're correct. The Chromecast Ultra isn't sold here in Europe so I didn't make the connection.

Chromecast Ultra is sold in the UK, which is Europe (even if we do end up leaving the EU).

And the OP was wrong; Chromecast Ultra is being sold here in Europe.

What? How do you know where OP lives or what is sold there? "Here" and "here" refer to different places depending on who is speaking.

“here in Europe” is not the same as “here” by itself, because the “in Europe” part specifies exactly what “here” means.
