remember CyanogenMod? Back in 2013 they founded a company to partner up with Oneplus for the Oneplus One

well.... investors.cyngn.com/faqs
When was Cyngn founded?

The Company was originally incorporated in 2013, under the name Cyanogen, Inc. The Company started as a venture funded company with offices in Seattle and Palo Alto, aimed at commercializing CyanogenMod, an open-source operating system for mobile devices based on the Android mobile platform.this company is a direct descendant of CyanogenMod

AI powered Forklifts?

@alexia @gothpanda oops they couldn't "disrupt" the custom firmware scene with their "innovations" so they "PiVotEd" 🤪

when did VC funding become such a laughing stock? I guess the dotcom boom was the beginning of that end.

@alexia the entire community went and did LineageOS so I guess they had no other choice than to make forklifts

@navi @alexia I uh can't tell if this is a pun or not

@turmoni @alexia It isn't intended to be, but lol

@jn @alexia Staplerfahrer Klaus installs CyanogenMod

Riedler Apr 14, 2025

@alexia most of their people departed to continue working on lineageOS, so… not surprising that they had to shift.

@alexia this is so weird

@alexia My favourite is still Mike and Terry's lawnmowers, who are better known as MITEL, and also possibly one of the more fortuitous examples of having your original product lost during shipping.

Alison Wilder Apr 14, 2025

Kancept Apr 14, 2025

@alexia dude, that's cute your phone runs Cyanogen, but check out my forklift!

Talk about ecosystems...

saua Apr 14, 2025

@alexia now that's some serious pivoting.

@alexia it’s really a shame they went that route, but the company is really just a husk of the former Cyanogen Inc.; all devs (including Cyanogen, the original author) moved to LineageOS

@Reiddragon I am aware, I've been doing this thing for over 10 years

@alexia jelly, I didn’t get a phone that could be flashed until well after CyanogenMod was dead and buried

@alexia
Oh how the mighty always fall

Cats Who Code (cursed)Apr 15, 2025

@alexia what could possibly go wrong?
