Yeah, how many batches have sold through doesn’t tell us anything unless we know how many are in each one.

Agree, love my NUC but it seems the last few years they haven’t been the best option. It seems like they lost touch with what people wanted from them around the time they started releasing models that supported a full size GPU.

I’ve wanted one for years and finally set aside the money a few months ago, so if it’s another few months I think I can wait it out. I’m using a browser extension called Distill to watch the page for any changes, plus watching availability in other countries to see if it gives me any hints when more might arrive in the US.

I had a bike stolen right before COVID and I’m thankful it didn’t happen a month later because it would have been a very long wait. The situation is better than it has been for a few years but I feel your pain, I’m waiting for the revised Aeroad to hit the US. Almost caved and got a different color of the older model today, but my 2019 Endurace still makes me happy so I’m holding out for what I really want. What region and what size/color are you interested in?

Nah, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m the same type as you and just print until something goes wrong. While I enjoy the journey of 3D printing, what I really love is the results. As long as you get the result there’s no need to tinker unless you just really love that aspect.

I agree, I hated when some of the subs I was in would brag about hitting a number like 100,000 members. After a certain point more members doesn’t add any value at best, and and at worst actually hurts the quality of the community. The bigger numbers were just an ego thing for the mods.

Is there any chance instances will start (or already are) blocking other instances based on instances they’re linked to? Similar to the way some subreddits would automatically ban users for participation in other subs, it could further enforce echo chambers. If Lemmy.world is a little more open, I’d hate for it to get blocked by somewhere like Beehaw just for that.

Plexamp, the app is great, but its offline/download support is not great either
