What does IBM even do anymore?
They are very busy charging an arm and a leg for crappy software with shit support.
A lot of stuff but mostly software these days.
Makes bank on it’s name from 60 years ago. That’s about it. Genuinely.
Patent trolling.
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 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.
I know you’re technically right, but their “cloud” is the weirdest offering I have ever seen
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.
