I was in the same boat as you, I bought it before they sold out... But obviously you can't return it at that point

A friend and former colleague in the IT industry recommended them to me so I gave some extra weight to his opinion. Then he lost like ten grand USD in Bitcoin because he left a (default) port forwarded to a VNC server in his house, open to the public and only protected by a known compromised password... and after that I stopped listening to anything he had to say about security.
