Admittedly my WW2 history knowledge is quite lacking, but I don't recognise Vichy because of the war stuff.

But I do recognise Vichy! Because we have a sub-type of mineral water in Sweden that is named after Vichy, "Vichyvatten". Wikipedia tells me the original was from a spring near Vichy, hence the name.

Strong contender! Definitely less populated, but I think also less well known?

World recognition or in-country?

If world I'd guess Huskvarna (pop 24 000) for Sweden.

Known for having a company making chainsaws (among other things) named after it (Husqvarna). It is one of the two main brands of professional chainsaws (the other being Stihl).

Me too, first two phones I had with USB C both developed issues with the port, one shorted in the port, the other for some reason could only be charged with one specific cable, oriented in only one direction. Never had any issues with the ports on any previous USB micro phones.

The current one works alright though, and its capable of detecting water and dirt in the port, so probably won't short itself. So I think the technology is improving.

Nah, not that crazy.. typically a sauna here, in Sweden, is between 70 - 100 C.

Very cold sauna! Should be at least twice as hot.
