It is nitpicking.
As it depends on the national parliament if it has the right to do that.
The German parliament does not have that right, oops.
However a "faction" in the parliament does have that right.

No idea bout other European parliaments.

The Commission has no obligation to be forthcoming.
Depends how nitpicking you want to be.

This is really a severe limit on the power of the European Parliament.
Depends how nitpicking you want to be. The parliament can retire every commissioner or the whole commission, if they vote so.
Basically out of a blue sky.

Sorry, why argue about something that is not important to you - and you have no clue about?

No parliament can censure anyone.

I know that about 80% of national legislation in the EU nowadays comes "from Europe" in the form of directives,
Only if the directive is leading to a law, established by the European Parliament.

And, does not matter what, the governments involved behind the directive(s) are voted into power by their respectively citizens.

The concept of base load was very important before the "green revolution".

Has nothing to do with nuclear.

Unfortunately different countries have different load curves over the course of the year.

USA, not so much. Hence people there think base load is just another term of: give us power!

In Germany the difference between base (the lowest amount of power you need to feed into the grid all the time) versus peek is: 40% versus 100%.

Every day (at night) the load curve goes down to 40% of the peak.

So: historically you had a fleet of plants that covered together that low bar of demand, by running 24/7/365 at roughly 90% capacity. That is BASE LOAD.

The rest is load following, fluctuating load, or even balancing load.

Has nothing to do with nuclear or what ever.

No idea hat Apple or Android is doing with AI in Photos.

Point is: most mainstream AI stuff as in "generative AI" EVERYONE can try for free with ChatGPT or what ever.

Find video making or photo making services, and add a prompt like: """
I like two town houses in typical Thai sub urb environment, side by side.
Left side a fruit and vegetable shop, with a sign "Nonglak's organic fruits - fruit of the moon"
Right side a solar panel and infrastructure shop, with the sign: "Enkis Solar Center"
"""
And look what happens.

And that has nothing to do with Apple/Android.

Well, who coined the term "free speech"?
And what has that to do with "insults"?

Obviously you are completely free to insult others.
However you have to take the legal consequences, if the insulted wishes so.

Free speech is a contract - written in the constitution - between the GOVERNMENT and its CITIZENS.

Has nothing to do with citizen versus citizen.

Are you such stupid? I did not think so. As some of your posts actually make sense. Your previous post: did not make sense.

The point is: a BlackBerry is not considered a smart phone. The first iPhone is considered one.
Hence the nitpicking about: Apple did not invent the smart phone, makes no sense.

Blackberrys had keyboards. Not even a touch screen. No real apps. How can one think that is the same as an iPhone or better or a predecessor - is beyond me.

Same reason, most companies rent data centers, instead of running their own.
They lack the expertise and are afraid about the risks (as investing to much, having the project to implement it fail, and so on).
Side note: to run your open weight models, you actually need a kind of small/not so small data center.
