| It kind of is - when I looked at it 6 months ago it was just a fork of vscode with old ass versions of Claude and the only unique things were java and ibm I mcp clients or servers or something built in. For those works I'd rather just have the skill or mcp for my harness of choice. I think they weren't allowed to use external AI so they run the models in house and remade cursor. Not bad to have competition but the name is awful - as others have said it's been used before by Microsoft in the 90s to make a friendly desktop giving us the winxp search dog and clippy. |

| ▲ | kylecazar 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They're the 2nd biggest PC manufacturer in the world. Sell more computers than Dell, Apple, etc. Only beaten by Lenovo. | | |
| ▲ | philipov 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | and Lenovo is itself an IBM spinoff. After the company rebranded itself to Lenovo, it merged with IBM's PC business which produced its ThinkPad line in 2005, after which it rapidly expanded abroad. In 2013, Lenovo became the world's largest personal computer vendor by unit sales for the first time, a position it still holds as of 2024.

| ▲ | SahAssar 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not a spinoff. It was founded 20 years before and was the largest PC manufacturer in China 10 years before buying IBM's PC business. | | |
| ▲ | jonwinstanley 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Interesting. Did not know that. I thought someone bought the IBM laptop business and renamed it. | | |
| ▲ | phyalow 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | They did, but they also were a large existing manufacturer. | | |
| ▲ | jolt42 an hour ago | parent [-] | | I don't know what they had before but their identity seemed to be IBM's overnight (thinkpads and all). |

| ▲ | flo123456 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | HP was never just a printer corp. ;-) | | |
| ▲ | InvisibleUp 43 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | The fun parts of HP split off years ago into Agilent, Keysight, and HPE. Current HP is just a printer and office PC corp. | |
| ▲ | CamperBob2 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | HP is long gone. What's left is just a printer and PC company that didn't bother to change the sign on the building. It's as if I bought an old telephone exchange building and called it Bell Labs. | | |
| ▲ | JAlexoid 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | You couldn't, mostly because Bell Labs is owned by Nokia now. | | |
| ▲ | CamperBob2 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Interesting, TIL! I wonder what Nokia's market cap is... geez, still over $50B. Another surprise. | | |

| ▲ | nateglims 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I suspect their enterprise computer business creates more revenue than printers. | | |
| ▲ | zimbu668 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Printers are just a loss leader for toner. | | |
| ▲ | JAlexoid 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | If you put 90% of the electronics into the cartridge and the printer box is just a paper feeder - that's not exactly surprising. |
