I work in IT and hear this about once a week. They also will call the computer anything but a computer. Most common name is the modem 🤦

Surprised that's still a thing. I've heard it called a hard drive about as often, but I haven't worked with home users in a long time.

"He now realizes that it's the hardware, the Mother modem, the heart itself of the hard drive, is faulty"

A classic Swedish news article circulating the internet since forever. I hope the tech didn't burst a blood vessel due to the mangled quote
