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.
Thanks. I just find it happening to myself more and more recently. It happened with N64 HDMI adapters, Gamecube ODEs, and even Mini PCs. I'd follow youtubers only to discover that better solutions came out right afterwards. I don't have time to follow the deep forums 24/7 and so I guess I am at a disadvantage because everything from blogs to forum posts to youtube is probably just disguised marketing at this point.
Yeah I just heard about the RAM price hikes today. Congrats on nabbing something you needed at the right time. I guess I should just celebrate when I do get some wins.
