Country codes do not necessarily determine currency, tax, customs, mail, phone, or law, so developers should research domain-specific exceptions before designing systems. ### Source excerpt Years ago, a colleague of mine told me about two pockets of foreign land surrounded by Switzerland: Campione d'Italia and Büsingen am Hochrhein, respectively Italy and Germany. Both are enclaves of their respective country in Swiss territory: An enclave is a part of the territory of a state that is enclosed within the territory of another state. To distinguish the parts of a state entirely enclosed in a single other state, they are called true enclaves. ## Subscription Payment Gateway: How to Pick One for Your SaaS DevFeed: [Subscription Payment Gateway: How to Pick One for Your SaaS]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Ayush Agarwal Published: 2026-06-09T00:00:00Z Content type: comparison Language: en Sources: [Dodo Payments Blog]() Topics: [Software as a service](), [stripe]() Tags: [buyers-guide](), [cancellation](), [features](), [geography](), [guide](), [merchant-of-record](), [payment-gateway](), [payments](), [retry](), [saas](), [set](), [stripe](), [subscription](), [subscriptions](), [webhooks]() ### AI overview A buyer's guide to subscription payment gateways for SaaS.

The poll received 3,079 self-reported responses, representing less than 5% of PinePhone owners, so the findings are not representative of the entire community. The article discusses respondent geography and broader trends among active community members. ### Source excerpt Throughout January we ran a poll asking people about how they use their PinePhones. Some poll results are quite predictable while others yielded unexpected results. Before we start, let me put on my academic hat for just one minute. This is a small, self-reported and not representative sample. A total of 3079 respondents took part in the poll - which amounts to less than 5% of all PinePhone owners. I'd therefore hesitate to extrapolate any of the results to the entire PinePhone community. I find it more likely that this sample reflects the most active community members and people following our project. It is also worth mentioning that some questions posed in the poll weren't exactly well phrased, and that the poll itself did not follow any established conventions. But this was never meant to be a comprehensive study - it is instead, at best, a peak at the overarching trends of the most active portion of the community. To this end, when describing the results I'll use descriptive generalizations, such as 'more than half' or 'the majority', rather than exact numbers or percentages I feel that this is more in line with the nature of the data and the general spirit of the poll. For what it's worth, I'll also share some of my thoughts and insights as we review the results. Exact numbers and percentages are, however, included in the graphs. As always, I encourage you to share your thoughts about the results in the comments section. Thank you to all those who took the time to fill in the questionnaire! Geography A third of all respondents are from the United States. In Europe, Germany, the United Kingdom (UK) and France have the highest respondent counts. The number is by far the greatest in Germany - more than twice that of the United Kingdom. In terms of per capita, it would appear that we also have a large active community in the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and Czechia. Adjusted for population size, the response counts in these countries are actually on par or larger t
