Purism is a company in California that sells Linux computers and other privacy-focused devices and services. Their Librem 5 phone is probably the most famous product they've had; it was originally crowdfunded and had a lot of delays with production and delivery, but on the other hand, it resulted in a lot of contributions to the GNOME project (specifically the current GTK and Adwaita combo, which has incorporated a lot from Purism's libhandy project).

Shortly after I signed up (a couple years ago), their backbone provider went bankrupt or dropped them or something; don’t remember. The outage lasted months, and during that whole time they kept charging the monthly fees! I sent a pointed message to support and they said “oh, well we promise we were always planning on refunding these charges later.” They offered to refund me individually because I’d called them out.
