What about happy-mac, sad-mac? Maybe emojis really are the right tool for this.

What would a happy NVIDIA A100 look like, I wonder?

I've been thinking about this....anytime you put a face on anything it is able to convey

emotion. Perhaps no face at all is best so that we remember these devices are still only tools.

Yeah, I've been thinking about the reactions to early Lumiere brothers films. Supposedly some people found it rather disturbing to see people moving on a screen. There's some adjustment to a new medium, but a little spooky if we call what's selecting the emoji "artificial intelligence". Actually it's just predicting what a particular person or kind of person would feel about something rather than conveying an emotion of its own. But there are a lot of ways to depict or communicate that...
