Apple would lose such a case in an instant. EU consumer protections applies to the consumer for products bought from a seller within the EU. The laws do not care the slightest whether you're using your devices on vacation or not.

No. That EU-citizen is fully protected by EU consumer laws. Has nothing to do with where that citizen make use of their product.
While a meme, yes. I'm an ex-boss and I'll happily verify that HR works for the company. The function is, "within what the company needs, keep employees happy and content", sure - but at the slightest conflict between company needs and HR needs it's the company needs that matter.
This isn't really supposed to be a secret, but I think we don't talk about it openly enough since every time a discussion like this pops up I see people who have misunderstood the function of HR.
... now what might be a bit more of a secret is how closely companies work together with the unions. Let's just say I've never seen any real union pushback.
I've linked to two different instances of people talking about it, there are of course many more. Thus why I asked you how big this conspiracy of yours would be for all of them to be lying.
What do you see when reading this?

That's ... not how it works. If they did brick the consoles Europeans own they'd likely be breaking EU wide laws, which at the end would end up with the highest court in Europe - the EUCJ.
There's nothing arbitrarily about this. Our consumer protection laws are quite strong.
Sure, I can't really understand myself why I wrote Pedro Pascal instead of Diego Luna - but it doesn't change the point of the post whatsoever tbh.
"litigation" is not really how we usually talk about consumer's rights in Europe though. As the article clearly states:
the legal framework in Europe is much more protective of users. The corresponding laws understand that disabling a device for unauthorized access to software is an excessive and illegal measure.

(afaik Pedro Pascal isn't a black woman but maybe I'm out of the loop)
Yes.
Fifty to 80 percent of American adults have oral herpes (HSV-1), which causes cold sores or fever blisters in or around the mouth. Genital herpes, caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, affects one out of every six people in the U.S. age 14 to 49.

It's very important to you that the claims about racism and misogyni aren't true, correct? Why?
How big is this conspiracy of yours?

"Herpes on the genitalia" still doesn't mean type 2. We have no idea what type she has from the included information. Based on the number of infections of the different types simple statistics would say type 1 is more likely.
That's mostly a US thing though I think? Over here in Europe the concept of suing your company is practically non-existent. Your recourse is through the legal system regardless of any HR actions.
