I use elements from the periodic table. The ones that sound cool!
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Neon, Tungsten, Helium, Sodium, etc
Wifi names are after noble gases.
PC hardware are all stable metals.
iPhone/iPad accessories are all non-metals.
and finally, random IOT devices are radioactive elements.
- thesephist 9y ago>random IOT devices are radioactive elements. Scheme-compliant _and_ metaphorically apt. Love it.
- andrewflnr 9y agoPlease tell me you're using Technetium for something special.
- howard941 9y agoPerfect for the box doing muscle tissue image processing
- tonyarkles 9y agoMe too on the periodic table names, but with a bit of creativity related to the machine too: - Helium - my Surface 3, because it's light - Lead - my heavy Linux laptop - Lithium - the Mac Mini I bought to keep from going crazy using a decade old Macbook Pro for iOS development - Caesium - my Dell "workstation" Windows laptop, because I bought it to save time (compared to running Windows + Visual Studio in a VM) - Uranium and Thorium - the beefy Xeon workstations that run a bunch of VMs and things - named because they put out so much heat that they might be radioactive
- hashhar 9y agoIt's quite funny that we share the host names Helium and Caesium. My Linux machines are radioactive because I tinker with them a lot and am bound to reinstall every few months.
- tonyarkles 9y agoHeh, yeah, there's that too...
