      Not at all. Always been a Chinese company. And I’m just now learning that IBM sold them their server business in 2014, and they also bought Motorola in the same year.

      Which raises the question: What does IBM even do anymore?

        Canada hired IBM to make a payroll system for federal employees. Supposed to replace all the disparate systems, amalgamate all the branches, etc. They royally fucked it up. Phoenix pay system if you want to look it up.
