EDIT -- I just went in the official Ubuntu Hardinfo page and it is confirmed that the Network Updater is no longer working because of a DB Loss. --
Hardinfo was quite useful, but since the last 2 or 3 Ubuntu releases, their DB is down and not reachable.
You can still measure performance and gather information on your hardware, but you cannot compare anymore with other people hardware to know how much your system perform.
Can someone confirm it?
