    I didn't get a calculator out but doing some quick math in my head I've spent about 2000 at Pimoroni and about the same at Adafruit. Thats over 5 years, first order at Adaruit was in 2014, 2016 for Pimoroni. I have stuff in my shopping cart at both lol.

    I gave a Pi Zero W away just the other day. Official case, power supply and some adapters. I preinstalled Buster on it and set it all up except the WIFI.

    I had big plans to get some stuff done this summer but so far it hasn't worked out as planned. I have done some tinkering but not near what I was going to get at. Still time to do stuff just have to go find my round 2it.

    Thats pretty close to what I got for temps.
    USB Boot isn't enabled yet. And the 3B procedure for enabling it doesn't apply to the 4B. You'll just have to wait for them to enable it with a firmware upgrade.

    It sounds like USB boot is at best a few months away. From what little has been said on the Pi foundation forum.

    You should have gotten a e-mail shortly after you placed the order with links to review items you ordered. One that I received is titled "Is everything OK with your order" that one comes a few days after its shipped.
