Thank you everybody! I'll certainly come take a look every now and then, but I don't think I'll visit often. My tech hobby interests have shifted to 3D-printing and mechanical keyboards, and even about that I'm way less in the loop than I ever was here :)




I also considered just releasing everything as CC0 and making the whole thing a free-for-all, but I think we'll find a better way.






As much as I'd love to do that, it would be really hard to justify designing an SFF PC with the upcoming Hades Canyon NUC. I could certainly try to draw some as practice, though :D




I'm hopeful as well. Let's see what the coming weeks will bring us!




Absolutely. You see, when you have less time and/or less motivation to work on something, you'll do it haphazardly. Instead of going over the final design of the PCB 20 times, testing everything 10 times, trying to break your own product in any way you can imagine, you'll tend to just say "this is good enough", and it never is the first time around. I've seen this countless times with coding projects, of myself and of other people, and it's nothing I would want to happen on hardware at all.


Same thing for software updates. If people find bugs, it takes time to find the root cause, to implement a solution, properly test that nothing broke as a result, distribute an update, write patch notes and everything. That is time I am not willing to spend at this point, but it would be unfair to customers to not properly support and update a product they've paid a good chunk of money for.
