Yeah, fuck that lake!

Yes, but they do it through subsidiaries. Smaller companies owned by the larger one. The vibrator would be branded by CompanyA. The train branded by CompanyB. Both A & B are owned by MegaCorp.

Back in the day, working with WD was a nightmare. The spinning HDs never came with a keyed IDE cable. It must have saved them $.0001 per HD shipped. If you accidentally put the cable in backwards, it not only burned out the logic board on the WD HD, it would also burn out any other drives on the cable. And the IDE controller on the motherboard. Now it is easy to remember how to do it right. Install the power cable and then make sure the red wire on the power cable was next to the red wire (pin 1) on the IDE cable. But if you rush or make an assumption, that was an expensive mistake.
