I don’t think the two are comparable. Around is a video conference app. Mmhmm is a virtual camera with some nifty effects for presentations.

It’s the US too. I was in a car accident with 2 bikes on the back that were unrepairable. Trying to find replacement bikes are close to impossible. Just yesterday I went to 2 local bike shops who had no stock and the bikes they do get in are pre sold, so there’s never any inventory. All manufacturers I’ve checked also don’t have anything available online. I guess they prioritize their dealers who can deal with the customer facing stuff so they can focus on more manufacturing. Even finding basic parts like a tube can be difficult! I found that the service levels at my local shop also went way way down, as they just can’t keep up with the volume. When I asked one of the bike store people about it yesterday, he just shrugged and said that it’s probably being used as a social distancing safe sport and replaced a lot of gym memberships and other sports.

One of my first jobs in 1997 was as a network admin, setting up an email, web server and firewall for our 100 person office. Used a 486 DX2/66 with 16MB (not GB!) RAM running RedHat, obviously very minimal without X or GUIs. The Internet line was only 128kb/s, so the CPU was underutilized most of the time.
