Arrow is running a special—the BeagleBone Blue for ~$77 with free shipping and a free raspberry pi 3. Just in case you were on the fence about picking on up...

Argh, they won't accept my password with special characters, number, uppercase letter and lower case letter, with error that "password must contain at least one number, upper case letter and lower case letter". How stupid is that.

But good for me because I paused shopping to vent here and I realized I may actually not need it that badly having enough MCUs at home already.

I can't edit anymore but just wanted to add that the free shipping is international (I'm in EU, positively surprised), and while they do have some bug in displaying placed orders list, they also have an excellent live support. So maybe I can forgive them the sh*tty password regexp.

I'm not sure if this comment contributes to the discussion

Poor password policies are always worth pointing out.

1password deals with that quite nicely imho

Then maybe remove and replace the special characters?

Note to others: Arrow seems to be out of stock, and now shows a backorder button.
