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.

    There’s an annoying meme that Europe doesn’t do tech things and it’s infuriating. The world would be a very different place were it not for companies like Raspberry pi, ARM, Arduino and Prusa.

    Believe me, I was guilty of this. I think the US propaganda as the best tech creators ever is strong (or maybe ours is too weak/nonexistent).

    This trade war started by Cheeto President has been a wake up call on many levels, this being one of them.

    So far I’ve managed to get rid of pretty much all US tech (including adopting Linux and a mostly deGoogled phone). Better late than never.
