My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I've been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.

My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)

Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc

Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research

I’d say we are already far past the point. It’s just that that most people haven’t noticed it yet, and it is that late for that.

I think there is quite a bit of rational thought in the statements. Though, it is definitely clear the person was either emotional, or was trying to make you emotional (and apparently succeeded) :)

I 100% think that without support of government, such boycott or switch in choice priorities might be having some risks, especially in high-tech markets, where Europe is obviously behind. Though, the statement about taxes clearly incorrect, because decreasing taxes would straight lower ability of EMEA area to actually make the investment at all, especially in circumstances, when countries have to put huge fractions of their GDP into militarization on extremely short notice and with deadline set to “three years ago”.

Taking that into account, I think that was just a troll account, or not too intelligent person being fed a pile of disinformation. Regardless of what it is: it is the wisest to ignore opinions of such people, they are simply not worth the wasted energy :)

The answer is “yes”, according to this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxH0usC7Ew

Wow, it looks so nice, compared to most dishwashers I ever saw!

Wow, I was really sure Fairphone is assembled in Europe.

Haha, nice :)

According to bits and crumbles of information I found, the actual assembling seem to be happening in Europe, though the components are the coming from various sources, including China and (mostly) US.

I definitely see your point, though in my eyes, having phone designed in Poland and assembled in Europe is infinitely times better than an iPhone, which is designed in US, and assembled in China in extremely unclear work conditions, or Xiaomi which is 100% China. Especially if it is a product prioritizing conscious usage.

Yeah, the line of Trump politics was kind of obvious from the beginning, unfortunately. Sadly majority of US voters did not see it through before, and continue "not looking up" :'(

It is using Android as a base OS, my guess is it should have it out of the box.

I have few hypothesis:

1. They know what they are doing, and the goal of current actions is to make rich americans even richer (at the cost of whole other world). Because any kind of crisis causes the same thing: poor gets poorer, rich gets richer (with some level of shuffling in place).
2. They are approaching things using the "startup approach", using the Zucks motto "move fast and break things", without taking a second to think things through.
3. They truly believe that those things will make it better (which I strongly disagree with, because things will get better only after any of those tariffs are lifted, regardless if it happens after the current market storm stabilizes or before)

Neither option has anything good about it, though I am not sure if it makes sense to speculate about reasoning anyways: both hypothesis give mostly similar "next steps" predictions. My take is that next steps will be advancing even more towards "america only", either by NATO speculation (which have already started), or by getting closer with the russian regime, or anything else.

It also is usually cheaper to do it that way. I’ve noticed quite a while ago the difference in subscription prices on website vs Apple Pay.
