    Somebody commented earlier about Cummins being a funny name. Turns out there’s a company called Cummins that, among other things, makes generators, so it’s just the classic “thingamabob powered by {CORPORATION_NAME}” that you see in marketing speak all the time.

      Oh right. I saw that comment but thought it must be some joke about the spice, cos I didn’t get the reference, and also didn’t think “thingamabob powered by {COMPANY_NAME}” made any sense. I wouldn’t say my monitor is “powered by LG”. It’s just an LG monitor. @Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world’s comment put it together really well, if it’s actually another brand with Cummins internals. Like a laptop might be “powered by Intel”.
