After further use I think I am going to contact support later today. The trackpad module, while smooth at the edges after bending, has some give slightly inwards from the edge. The bezel is also pinching the display in a couple places, the spacers are a slightly different color when under ordinary lighting, and the trackpad inexplicably gets stuck in the depressed position on occasion...

@npub15f7…m7wr laptop received! 64 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD later, there's definitely a bit of a learning curve on my first new (personal) laptop in a few years.
Manufacturing tolerances were decent, though the trackpad did have the edges curved up slightly. A small amount of force got it to be within my expectations. There is essentially zero gap between the spacers and trackpad module, which is awesome. My only "surprise", so to speak is that the top of the lower spacers have a hard edge.

What happened with #xz is precisely why I ceased support of serde versions that had pre-compiled binaries included. It doesn't matter how trustworthy someone seems or how long they've been maintaining a project.
I caught flak from a number of people, including one person (in person, and respectfully!) saying that I was "policing the ecosystem". Which...yes, that's the point. Unknown, unverified binaries being executed is unacceptable and dangerous until proven safe, not the other way around.
