I've had it for over a year.

The case is warped in multiple places. One USB C module doesn't accept a power charge reliably. It can overheat and shutdown. If the case flexes a little the trackpad stops responding - it needs to be on a flat surface. Power brick died.

On the plus side, my partner had one and when she threw it away she gave me her parts and I was able to swap some out. That was cool.

Thank you Ralf for dedicating yourself to this project for so long.

When I have Rust projects with subsystems that must be unsafe, I will design them around Miri testability. This mostly means writing small unit-testable units and isolating I/O as much as possible. I almost always find I have made mistakes that Miri catches.

Recaptured a bit of my lost love for desktop apps.
