Add module for software and hardware tools

[ghost]

Clear and concise description of the problem

Given the use case I have, I might miss a generator for:

• Software tools (Adobe xxxx, Microsoft yyyy, ...)
• Harware tools (printes, phone models, camera models, ...)

As suggested on the collaboration guide, this is just a new issue to see the if it has some interest from others.

Suggested solution

Software tools: Add a generator with a few vendors, products and version.
Hardware tools: Add a generator with hardware type, vendors and models.

Thank you for your feature proposal.

We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

• If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).
• If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

We will start the implementation based on:

• the number of votes (:+1:) and comments
• the relevance for the ecosystem
• availability of alternatives and workarounds
• and the complexity of the requested feature

We do this because:

• There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.
• Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:
  • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
  • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors

Could you please explain your usecase a bit more?
What do you want to do with these data? Do you only need the names or are other things relevant as well?

Is RAM hardware? Is a jumper plate hardware? A screw? A lightbulb? A desk or table?
