@gsuberland@chaos.social @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io as far as I can tell, HP these days is consumer only (HPE is an entirely different company with a different ticker, same for Agilent and Keysight)

Yep. 4 separate companies.
“HP Inc.”(HPQ) makes enshittified consumer printers and computers.
“Hewlett Packard Enterprise” (HPE) is what it says on the tin. Enterprise (mostly big; they own Cray and SGI) machines and networking (Aruba).
“Agilent” (A) is now all biotech and life sciences lab and clinical equipment; used to include the test & measurement equipment.
“Keysight” (KEYS) is now the successor of the legendary HP test equipment lineage.

@thomasfuchs the exception would be the original hp,com created by a teenager learning and sharing how to create homepages, and who got sued by hewlett-packard because they were a bit late to the party (internet)
