@levie @photomatt Don't really agree with this. I think you should have goals that are hard but attainable, then "big hairy audacious goals" which are more aspirational, like gleaming statues on a hill above you that you can glance at from time to time and be reminded of the bigger picture.

@Patrick1Kennedy right as a complete used general computing NUC size bundle I get it, makes sense, in this case I wanted the Iris Plus (or "best capable in modern nuc") class graphics though. I did *consider* a used Skull Canyon for the same reasons, but decided not to.

note that newer versions of these NUCs inexplicably do not include the Iris Plus graphics, so the GPU performance is double plus terribad on those models. 🤷‍♂️
