The flag is part of the marketing. Every other product they sell (boards) has a "Designed in the USA" text printed somewhere. Seems that they believe that having a product "Designed in the USA" gives it more credibility. One interesting point is that they do not mention where the products are actually made. With Tindie (and %99 of other) vendors, you are safe to assume that they are made in china. If not sourced in china and re-sold (which I have no issues with). Now, a RNG with an American flag that was assembled in China does remind me of those USA flags that have the little gold "Made in China" sticker. Would I buy this? Only to play with it on an old air gapped machine.
- ljk 11y agototally personal opinion here, but a lot of the stuff that say "made in the USA" are aimed toward a different crowd(older generation) than this product..
- bliti 11y agoThat's a good point. Another reason is to differentiate themselves from re-sellers. Like the Ebay stores that put "Ships from USA" in the listing titles.
