Wait… does IBM even make computers anymore, or did they just vanish into corporate ghost mode? 👻💻

Chad Parker Mar 25

Had one of those random shower thoughts, when’s the last time anyone actually saw an IBM-branded computer? Like… has it been a decade? More? 😅 Then you check their LinkedIn and they’re out here flexing like they still run the tech game. Sooo… what do they actually do now?

Yeah, I know they sold off the ThinkPad stuff to Lenovo forever ago and dumped a bunch of hardware divisions too. But still, kinda wild how the company that basically invented the PC just slowly drifted into the background. Now it's all about AI, cloud, consulting, and “solutions” (which I’m pretty sure is code for “we do tech stuff, don’t ask too many questions” 😂). They’ve officially leveled up into a corporate buzzword generator.

What do you think did IBM gracefully step out of the spotlight, or did they just get outplayed by newer, flashier players?

Kind of random, but why did blackberry actually fail?

I know iPhone changed things but that doesn't feel like the whole story. Blackberry had time money and a solid user base. Was it just a case of not adapting fast enough or were there deeper issues under the hood?Not trying to roast them, just genuinely curious. What do you think actually tipped it over the edge?

If lab-grown meat Isn’t vegan then what’s the point?

Okay, I've got a legit question I can't stop thinking about. What exactly is lab-grown meat and why are we producing it if it's not even vegan or plant-based? From what I understand, it's real animal meat, but grown from cells in a lab instead of coming from an actual animal. So it's not fake meat like Beyond or Impossible, but it's also not cruelty-free...

Only 200k Vision Pros sold? Has this been a hit or a flop for Apple?

This seems like a great forum to meet like-minded Apple enthusiasts like me. I do like other tech topics but for the first one, I think I'd like to know everyone's thoughts around the Vision Pro. It's been such an exciting release although I knew the $3500 price tag will get in my way. But it seems like it's got in everyone's way or what?...
