Came to the comments to say something similar.

Really?

Wordpress without any plugins is kinda useless. Best to completely avoid using it, there are better options

Saw this in a HN comment and loved it. Also, a little worrying.

Was it this[1]?

Feels like a manager with no branding skills had an initial “vision” and everyone working there probably hoped marketing/branding would get pulled in later.

Never happened.

Hahaha. Chip butty

Extra vinegar please, I want my muffin drenched.

Yes. The North West and the midlands was where it all started. Cotton, mills, Industrial Revolution etc

Interesting. Did not know that. I thought someone bought the IBM laptop business and renamed it.

It was bought, but after the renaming. Today IBM only build Servers. Mainframes. All other PC, Laptop and Server Production/Branding is sold. IBM rebranded mainly to IBM iX. A full service agency. Hardware is now Mainframes. And other deviations are mostly Cloud, OpenShift, Ansible, and RHEL.

They did, but they also were a large existing manufacturer.

I don't know what they had before but their identity seemed to be IBM's overnight (thinkpads and all).

They used the Think(Pad|Centre) brand and expanded it to other things (like IdeaPad).

They basically bought IBM's good reputation name and style and used it for both IBM-alikes and budget machines.

Some of it was good machines, some of it was crap.

They actually bought entire ThinkPad R&D as well, and have been subcontracted manufacturer for some time before that.

So Thinkpads are still designed in ex-IBM Lenovo Japan

Is this from the same person that did Castle Map a few weeks ago? Feels similar

Yes! I have created some interactive maps which are in some ways similar to each other.

I like to have some sort of standardised UI to make the map as useful as possible. If I like features from one of my maps, I will copy that to the other maps wherever it fits. I hope this works:)

Hmm, but can you cross reference? Plenty of castles have been filming locations :)

And the Open Weight models keep improving.

For many tasks, you don’t need a frontier model.
