Just disable iMessage in EU. Simple solution, without risk to the rest of the global users.

Except those who want to communicate with EU users, or need to communicate from Europe to other parts of the world using the Messages app.

You really didn’t think this through, did you?

I currently use messages app to communicate with others….who don’t use messages app.

The Mac Studio is a design monstrosity and should never have been produced by Apple….

Have to say I really disagree.  I like the size & shape, super fast for my purposes and can run a couple vm’s with no pauses, hiccups, ever. 

... Of course you should not expect general purpose computing applications to be instantly available on a platform that has experienced something similar to an earthquake (even by Apple standards) the developers are waking up from.

I think it can be said that general purpose computing applications that rely on a very broad set of technologies to be present on a platform will be hard to support on a mac, forcing developers to create so many special cases that you could simply write a new app entierly just for macOS which is hard to justify you see.

That sounds fairly negative and I wouldn’t classify virtualization as “general purpose computing applications”, but even that seems is getting support from VMware, Parallels and Docker. Anyway, after spending past couple of days setting up and playing with an M1 Mac Mini, I’m extremely impressed with how well it runs existing Intel applications and even a few older iOS apps i tried...right out of the gate. In terms of justifying writing (or retrofitting) applications targeting MacOS, it would follow that the combined size of MacOS and iOS (now that the two platforms are even more similar being on same family of processors) would be even more attractive.
