Not all devices have a vendor in cpuinfo

[Deniom3]

Hello

Thanks for the good tool, I was able to run it on my TV box running Armbian. But I had to make an edit because not all processors have vendor information in them; receiving the manufactory fails with an error.

Could you add a check for this situation or provide an alternative option for obtaining data, for example, use model name instead of vendor.

Below is the error trace:

Hi, I am using both vendor and model name, but added a check in version 0.8.9 to display unknown in case its missing. Let me know if it works on Armbian

It works, thanks, now your solution is applicable to even more devices.
