Where is this exponential thing coming from?

Why would hardware failure raise exponential with linear scale? Doesn't make sense

That's what you get from a constant failure rate per unit of time.

It's saying that hardware fails in the same way that Carbon-14 dating works.

Lets hope they add more context to it.

Most if not all hardware failure on my side is def not memoryless besides the one lightning damage thingy but thats not hardwares fault.
