    Checked it out, clicked on a random phone company I hadn’t heard of before (Nothing Phone), went to the “about us” and I see this asshole:

    FFS. Nice page though anyway, might come in handy in the future.

      Seems to just be an investor though. The phone designs are fun though, speaking as an owner. I know not everyone cares about the design but when you can get pretty decent specs on pretty much any phone I find design started being more important to me.

    Some of the stuff on there is not european made, only european designed. I know that Fairphone manufactures in china and I am fairly certain that this is also the case for most other tech related entries on this site and possibly also for a ton of non-tech stuff.

    As an American, I also like buying European made stuff.
    Especially the beer. So much higher quality than some of the carbonated swill we call beer.

      I’ve heard a story about how Heineken opened a brewery in the US, but lost the “Imported” label because of it. Their sales went down. Then they closed it and opened one in Canada and one in Mexico, importing the same beer to the US. They got the label back and sales went back up.
