I agree with you. One of the tweets in the article says, &quot;Yikes @IBM! I’m a girl &amp; actually know OS Assembler language &amp; have “hacked” your MVS operating systems.&quot; Well, sure, if you&#x27;re already in tech, &quot;hacking a hairdryer&quot; might seem patronising, similar to &quot;making math pink.&quot; But if you&#x27;re <i>not</i> already in tech, a hairdryer is a relatively simple, common, and familiar device. It has potential and I&#x27;d bet it&#x27;s mostly untapped[0]. It seems like the perfect kind of thing to get started with, IMO. To me, the fact that it&#x27;s a &quot;beauty product&quot; to is irrelevant.<p>[0] For curiosity, I thought I&#x27;d check out results from HackADay for hairdryer hacks, there isn&#x27;t much to see: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=site:hackaday.com+hairdryer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=site:hackaday.com+hairdryer</a>
