Hardware (other) is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 13 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 37 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Other hardware and electronics topics: miscellaneous devices, data storage hardware, hard drives, memory technology, peripherals.
