We are viewing it as a POV of inside a meme. But from the duck's POV they're reading an incorrect POV meme because the "you're" is intended for the duck, not us.

Yep, Dutch with manufacturing in Taiwan. So not super relevant to this thread.

System 76 is US based including keyboard manufacturing. They're a small company that gives a lot back to the open source community.

You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

You have to do research and pay a premium. But you're way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

Correct.

The 1st century started at 1 A.D. and included 100. 2nd century started 101 to 200. Etc etc. If you change the 21st century to be 2000. You would to shift everything down. Eventually making the 1st century 99 years. Or creating a year 0 or using 1BC.

Paradox is Swedish (Stellaris, Crusader Kings).

Factorio and Kingdom Come 1/2 is Czech.

Really there are a lot of games. Just not many AAA games.

The logistics of getting a finished product from overseas is not really worth it for small batches of electronics. So often seperate parts ordered and shipped in and assembled/flashed. After all the kinks are worked out and demand is sufficient, then it might be worth the hassle for overseas manufacturing.
