Only one of them is mutually exclusive. Reminds me of the joke about the duck…

It’s a big of a problem.

It’s a great analysis, and I don’t disagree with anything you said (mostly because you’re better informed than I am). But you nailed it with “Why would I need this? I don’t know yet.” It should all be driven by need—the fact their are more options is great, but doesn’t mean they should be used just because they’re there… For many hobbyists, ease of access and speed to get started is the main driver, and for those cases, pre-built boards are the answer.

I remember talking to a car manufacturer in the early 2000s who said it would be relatively easy to make cars to a custom length / load space. But they tend to make specific models because if you give people too much choice, they get paralysed and don’t choose anything.

I suspect it’s not quite that simple but the principle seems sound.

“Almost at the deadline” and starting to collect data. Sounds familiar.

What’s your research question? Your list of questions seem quite unfocused and broad.

PSP is travelling at 394,736mph. Voyager 1 is about 15 billion miles away and travelling at about 35,000mph.

Time taken to catch up t is roughly 394736t = 15000000000 +35000t or about 4.75 years.

Free minor updates. And if you buy it a month before a major version update, you get nothing. Ask me how I know :/.

I find your excess of faith disturbing…
