| Sep 20, 2019 at 19:13 | comment | added | jaskij | true that, it would be hard to come up with anything better. I'll try to think of this and speak up when I believe I have a better name. One which sticks with me for the moment is "Information Technology Hardware". Although it might be bad too. Also, did you know that utility meters also fit into our rules? | |
| Sep 20, 2019 at 19:01 | comment | added | ArtOfCode Mod | Fairly, yes. We looked long and hard at the name when the site first launched, but nobody came up with anything better that actually worked. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 22:32 | comment | added | jaskij | I was just in the middle of writing that "hardware recommendations" is a confusing name but that's probably a hopeless case too? | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 22:31 | comment | added | ArtOfCode Mod | Aye. Not one I have the power to change, unfortunately - that needs a CM and 6-8 weeks. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 21:21 | comment | added | jaskij | One more thing: there is no direct link to the on-topic help article in the sidebar when asking a question, only links to meta. | |

| Sep 19, 2019 at 20:54 | comment | added | jaskij | ok, leave it that way and if there are complaints from EE it can be changed then. And the OT questions which I saw and would redirect there are not repair questions anyway. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 20:49 | comment | added | ArtOfCode Mod | @JanDorniak I'm tempted to leave it in for those questions that aren't. The link there goes to the EE on-topic page, though, not the front page, so anyone it does send that way should also get a chance to read for themselves what they can ask. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 20:48 | comment | added | jaskij | remove consumer since they are usually repair questions which are OT on the EE Stack | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 20:42 | comment | added | ArtOfCode Mod | Thanks, @JanDorniak - I'll amend it to "hobbyist, consumer, or professional". Feels like it lacks description if I just leave it unqualified. | |
| Sep 19, 2019 at 20:40 | comment | added | jaskij | I would remove the "hobbyist" in the help article since it unnecessarily narrows it down and misrepresents the EE stack which welcomes professionals as well obviously. The wquakifier in my question was maybe a bit unnecessary in my question. Sorry about that | |
