Nice, I have the exact same one. It is true it takes about 1h and a bit of command line knowledge to do it, so definitely not for everyone.

Yeah, that dude is kind of a dick but on the other hand dealing with bugs in closed source software of big corporations is an even worse experience xD

I specifically got one which can run valetudo and it works great for over two years now. Without sending images of my flat to china or the us

If I understand correctly, it is 2billion years old, but 50million years ago it merged with another star, making it more massive and thereby more bright an visible from earth. Fun fact: Due to it beeing a yellow supergiant it will turn red in a couple of thousand years and then die quiet soon.
