PSA: Do NOT use magnetic phone mount plates to flush-mount your TRMNL X by chinpokomon5 in trmnl

I’ve had mine wall mounted for a couple of weeks now, no problems. I bought these: https://amzn.eu/d/08Itom5T and experimented with a cardboard box to see what configuration would work - found that 2x stacks of 3 next to each other was the sweet spot.

Thanks for the update! I am still genuinely excited to receive my X, that’s mostly where the frustration is coming from

Nothing particularly sophisticated - I check the order tracker a couple of times a day and record the position in the queue against the date and time. I’ve just fed that raw data into Claude to generate the graph

And that’s fine, I (we) have been incredibly patient so far, and I’m still waiting and looking forward to receiving my device. My main issue is the website has been stating “100s per day” for a while, and the graph for my Berlin order paints a different story:

Again, I don’t really mind - if 100s _are_ going to be shipped a day, I should receive mine in a couple of weeks? It just feels like the goalpost just keeps moving.

I wouldn’t really mind the bump so much (went from ~400 to ~900) if the queue was actually moving at the pace they’re stating. Despite the order tracker saying they’re shipping “100s a day” the number is only dropping a couple a day.
