I am most intrigued by this concept of frustrated users crowdfunding pledges for bug bounties that bother them

New hardware manufacturer quality metric: Number of frustrated user pledges per time since market introduction.

Would a lot of people wanting to use the hardware but the drivers sucking be indicative of a good company or a bad company?

[–] Tempy@programming.dev 3 points 4 weeks ago

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.

As a quality metric, "bad company". If you can differentiate between hardware product and drivers, you can separate those metrics. But usually, and for most people, using the product also means using their drivers.
