But just to be clear, hardware IS hard.

  Aside: Shoot - this wants me to make a "front fell off" joke... but HN hates jokes.

    As evidenced by you getting downvoted. Oh, HN, I would say "never change" but I already don't expect you to.

    Personally I don't mind some jokes here but I can't see what the joke is you're trying to make. If it was a clearly funny comment it perhaps wouldn't fair as badly.

      Its a reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

        That's pretty funny.
      • pbhjpbhj 10y ago
        Which is funny to me, but the parent might as well have been referencing something their mate told them; how much of the global audience on HN knows that skit. Anyway, we're well OT.

  Yeah. Anyone remember WakeMate? They had nonstop problems with their hardware. And Lockitron had yield issues for two years on their deadbolt operating robot before cancelling it. Hardware is hard.
