Phillips played a critical role in spawning both ASML and TSMC.

No they’ve sold off their products into companies that license the Phillips brand.

Someone’s drinking TSMC liquor today.

Tends to happen once one graduates and enters the world. I used to be a big fan of Philips back in the day as well. Sadly, haven’t been for a while. A long while.

I use a Phillips beard shaver still.

And a Phillips nose hair clipper.

My razor is Braun.

For almost all non-durable goods, I use cheap Walmart or Costco brands.
