Kinda a stupid comment from me but I am wondering why Framework doesn't get into the NUC business. The ASRock NUCs usually retail from $750-$650 and that's around the cost of an upgrade kit from Framework. Considering that most industrial compute is mostly dealing with long lived deployments of edge hardware, it seems like the sort of stuff that their emphasis on ecosystem can help here.
Anyways, I should stop my homelab hobby even though I find this stuff fun. I might pick this up regardless.
