alt Hacker NewsWell sounds like I may have jumped the gun yet again. I managed to nab a IDE Simulator v3 by Tattiebogle in Sept. Maybe I should have waited for this. This has happened to me before so I wonder if maybe word got out that this was coming so others got their products out asap?
I wouldn't worry too hard about it, if you need something, you don't need a potential something. Until something is released and being sold/distributed, it's not something you should necessarily consider a real option.
Don't be too hard on yourself. We've all bought hardware that saw alternatives come out, or extreme price drops before we get around to using it. Right now, I'm just glad I bought a couple nvme drives before the recent pricing bumps. Similar for my desktop upgrade earlier in the year.
