Summing up:
- the hardware looks okay
- the mandatory subscription provides value, but if the company folds, all the services go away and there's no instructions on how to set them up yourself -- at which point you might as well have bought an RPi with a preconfig'd distro.
- The selling point is "escape Big Tech" but the services are provisioned via AWS.
- The CEO is arguing with people here telling them that they are wrong about what they want.
- The owner doesn't have root access and Helm does. They promise that they can't look at your stuff, but of course they can.
