Europe, Australia, and Asia can still get it while the getting's good.

    What a weird title! Yours, I mean. It’s sold out within 24 hours of being made available again after weeks and weeks of not being available. The price hike is just ancillary information.

      I just used the current article title.

      It is noteworthy that it sold out, despite the price hike. Apparently it’s still desirable at that price, although without actual sales numbers it’s hard to say for sure.

        Ah, so it is. I read the URL and assumed that was the title as it often is.

          Ars often has multiple titles for a while before it settles on one. The URL is usually one of the title options.

    If I hadn’t already bought one before all this AI-induced production chain ruination, but also knowing what I now know about it and how I’ve used it, I might still pay those prices for it.
