Read the previous discussions on the topic. Your summary is a sensationalist lie, since their change was apparently a smoking pile of hot garbage, and Zig already had similar performance gains in a newer release.
And if you include women (well, all genders) directly in the war efforts you double the amount of soldiers you have, which would increase your chance of winning and not needing to repopulate.

Surely you must realise the absurdity of that statement

No, suggestion those caveats show that you are out of touch with what is at stake. This is about digital sovereignty, not saving money. It’s about not relying on the US. The US is literally forcing our hands here.

Are you saying that Microsoft is more wealthy than all of “Europe”? And surely you must mean the EU.

The money needed to improve matrix is nothing compared to what is already being spent on Microsoft products.

> At Cloudflare's scale, I would not be surprised if they require three consecutive events to trigger an alert.

Sorry but that’s a method you use if you serve 100 requests per second, not when you are at Cloudflare scale. Cloudflare easily have big enough volume that this problem would trigger an instant change in a monitorable failure rate.

You seem to insinuate that the correct pricing is using a 3 year commitment. That seems very much not logical to me considering the original promise of the cloud to be flexible, and to scale up and down on demand.
If it’s in any way owned by a US entity, then no, then it’s just smoke and mirrors.
Actually you want 3 nodes for high availability, two will do you nothing good
I took and ID3 for a test drive, an accidentally activated the speed limiter on the highway. That got quite scary, and it took ages to realize I had to swipe on one of the fake buttons to disable it.

Compared to ID4, ID3 has another epic cost saving measure: They removed the two switches for the rear windows from the driver door, and replaced it with a toggle switch that decides whether the switches for the front windows really control the front windows, or the rear ones. So in total they saved one physical switch, but made the user experience much worse.

I also skipped the entire ID-family due to that. At least the Enyaq (Skoda's ID4) has a much better setup with physical buttons on the steering wheel, and more physical buttons for the console.

Those files are user data, not part of the software package.
You don't know that up front, e.g. if your plane is late and you need to hurry to a connecting flight.
