Interesting, I have a white 512g 7 Pro with Kioxia flash according to DevCheck. That benchmark from OP gave me a score of 27496 fwiw

I'm left with a similar bad taste every time I take a look at the community. It seems kind of angsty and egotistical, and this gist doesn't help with their image at all. It comes off to me as if he's coming back as some sort of savior to the Python bot developer community. The points made in the original "deprecation" gist were also, at least in my opinion, greatly exaggerated.

I can't really say I'm surprised, however. It seems like it's mostly always been this way with constant whining or drama from them when things didn't go their way.
