alt Hacker NewsWhat's with the odd name? Apple already has a 15 year-old product called Thunderbolt. Mozilla already has a similarly-named but totally-different product called Thunderbird.

It's clearly a fancy AI powered cable isn't it?
I suppose there is no Thunderbird for Macs then? Or someone in the team would have noticed.

Agreed. The name collision nowadays is horrible.
Then again, it's frustrating trying to name a product in today's era; too many names are taken.

I came here to say that. Especially with the .io TLD instead of .ai

Not sure about the US but in France there’s absolutely no way this would be confused with Apple Thunderbolt. No one talks about it, and I don’t even know it it’s even a thing anymore since USB-C.
As for Thunderbird, it’s not the same name? Idk what to say
