I was under the assumption that Raspberry Pi was a US based company, but I just found out they are European and almost all made in Wales.
It’s probably the most European computer you can buy, with a massive following of enthusiastic developers creating alternatives for all the cloud services we are trying to stop using.
This has confirmed my choice to try and replace the US based cloud services my family and I are currently using.
Goes hand in hand with stereotypical attitudes of the US v Europe, imo: the land of lone wolf “entrepreneurs” goes hard on big branding and [social] media platforms whereas Europe is a bit more likely to respect back-office bureaucracy and a lot of its technical prowess is in “stuff that goes inside something else to make it work”
