<p><pre><code> &gt; As most of you know, the past two years has not been the best for community updates as nobody has been able to write consistently. I am happy to announce that I will be stepping up to continue producing community updates monthly alongside our community members and developers. </code></pre> I spent over $2k at these folks. And this is the main (but not only) reason why I stopped buying anything for over a year. This has been a constant problem, and the same thing has been promised so many times! &quot;Oh, going forward we will update&quot; and &quot;Oh, well, we missed it for a year, but from today it will be different&quot; - for years.<p>Of course I won&#x27;t even mention that the Tab-V has been out of stock since last christmas, the flash bug in pinephone still hasn&#x27;t been fixed though it has been known since before the pandemic, the standard pinephone (without the garbage overpriced UBS-C adapter) has been out of stock since I don&#x27;t even know when, and they stopped selling the dev edition of the pinenote in the moment when they created a new batch. Oh, I won&#x27;t even mention that when I once visited their discord channel, the last response was 4 months old, if I disregard the ocean of crypto spam. But hey, the forum is ignored too, so at least that&#x27;s balanced out.<p>I have had so much hope in that company. But anyone who is buying anything from them, and expects something as an exchange for the money is just asking for a disappointment.<p>Rant over.
