Been summoned once, but I no longer lived in the state / county of summoning at the time it happened. Luckily a family member gave me a heads up regarding the summons and I was able to call and explain before I got to whatever penalty you get for being MIA for a jury duty summon.

we couldn’t reach a verdict because some people couldn’t believe a guard would just do bad things.
That's wild.
Was the guard human? Yes? Then they are capable. Look at the evidence!
Same here. I was through the sequence and trying to buy by no later than maybe 1:00:10, and tried three different payment methods, all to no avail. I don't think we had a chance on this go-round.
...And the site just updated to Out of Stock. Grats to those of you who managed to get a payment jammed through.
Have received "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." on all attempts, all payment methods. Looks like it'll just be fried for a minute.
It's not computing that is evil necessarily. It's the corporate privatization of compute that is going to be the issue in the coming years and decades. Like so many things in the modern world, they want you renting it, not owning it.
Keep working to own it yourself, and use it to help fight the battles that need to be fought.
