"for USD 0.7 billion. The transaction unlocks significant value for customers of Supplyframe and Siemens, providing seamless and quick access to both Siemens’ offerings and Supplyframe’s marketplace intelligence. [...]The acquisition also strengthens the Siemens portfolio through Software as a Service (SaaS) "

Software as Service appears to be the ultimate goal.

I hope hackaday manages to stay around. They're the only blog I know which has maintained a high quality though all of these years and through many different owners.

Which can be claimed for their content but not for their UI

What's wrong with their UI? Using https://hackaday.com/2021/05/22/irc-will-never-die/ as an example

Seems the contrast is excellent and no obvious disturbing layout choices. Fairly traditional layout although I'm not a fan of the white on black as I sit in the sun a lot, but generally it seems quite good if you compare it with most random blogs out there.

What do you mean? The UI is fine. The better part of it happens to be the fact that they haven't messed with it.
