      Maybe I’m jaded / cynical, but that seems like a pretty reasonable compromise. If you want to take responsibility and install your software from scratch then nothing is guaranteed. I’d take that deal.

        It’s okay, definitely was worth it for me.

        But I still think its kinda weird to put out a 400$ device and then say: “here’s full ssh root access, but don’t use it”
