Owning a PC is a wild ride. Bought a NUC Extreme as it involved the fewest third parties (Intel CPU, Intel designed mobo, Intel networking, etc.). Since then:
- Intel sold the group to Asus
- Asus have failed to issue the final microcode patch [1] (0x129 is available, but not 0x12B)
- I've had endless issues with both of the built-in nics (Intel I226-V 2.5Gbit and Marvell AQtion 10Gbit), running at just 1Gbit...and I'm not alone [2]
