Companies with names that were simply what they did or made.

Remember the early integrated chipset companies?

VLSI was Very Large Scale Integration, because that's what they made.

Chips and Technologies, they made... chips, and technologies.

I imagined how they came up with their names, when they were just a group of engineers and computer specialists. "What are we going to name the company?" "No idea." "What do we make? What do we do?" "Great! That's what we'll name the company."

What other computer parts companies had "exactly what it says on the tin" names like that?

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of these LED strings?

They are spaced about 17-18 inches. Google Lens insists they're Govee but shows me tons of images of outdoor LED strings that are NOT these.

I have four strings of 10 that can all connect together but no controller. I peeled the 3M VHB off one to see if there were markings. Nope, just flexible, clear potting compound.
