What does IBM even do anymore?
They buy competitors with a good product and put their name on it.
And then they don't know what to do with the product for decades. E. g.: Notes.
Hang on, they said good products
Notes was OK, besides the shitty UI.
Yeah.... that is a big part of the thing.
Also, hiding emails/notes from users with some bad wannabe AI was a neat frustration.
They're furiously milking redhat to death, for starters.
To be fair, being milked to death doesn't seem that bad. I've seen those videos.
Makes bank on it's name from 60 years ago. That's about it. Genuinely.
They are very busy charging an arm and a leg for crappy software with shit support.
Patent trolling.
They're still a big name in mainframes and are also a cloud hyperscaler, and they offer software development and consulting. They do a lot of research in AI and quantum computing, and even blockchain a few years ago. But altogether just a shadow of what they once were. I used to work there when Lenovo took over ThinkPad production and the hard drive business was phasing out. I couldn't imagine being there now.
cloud hyperscaler
I know you're technically right, but their "cloud" is the weirdest offering I have ever seen
A lot of stuff but mostly software these days.
