Title is misleading, like other mentioned. My first reaction was: “Wow, what an irony, ASML makes the machines that makes the chips”. Second reaction: “No way ASML machines and washing machines could be powered by the same type of chip”.
I hope this crisis moves industry just an inch towards better “right to fix”. Engineering decisions that make for the serviceable products will help reusability as well
