Caran d'Ache are Swiss.. Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)

Mine is close to ten years old and still going strong. We have one at work as well. It is heavily used to feed two Wilfa Svart coffee makers multiple times a day without issues.

The Wilfa Svart grinders are really good. Wilfa is a Norwegian company and the Svart line of coffee making appliances is developed in cooperation with former world champion barista Tim Wendelboe.

DataCrunch is based in Finland and provides long time rental of bare metal servers, short time use of instances similar to EC2 and serverless container hosting. The latter is particularly interesting since they come with autoscaling and queue support out of the box. We have been using Fargate, but then you can’t go completely serverless with GPUs and the queue is a separate entity. We deployed our first model using a vLLM docker image in days without having used the system before. We will probably moving existing model hosting from AWS to DataCrunch as well.
