What is the point to send promotional emails to get free kits and join contests when it is too late for both? I received the first email about all this today and the free kits are long gone ( I see discussions started in July) and even if I purchase a kit now and it is delivered immediately, I still cannot ping for 14 days the servers and probably even get started for the few days remaining. I'm double disappointed, because I wanted to test the Azure IoT for long time and this would be a great opportunity If I had received any notification moths ago when it started. I have purchased development boards from Farnell, so I have account there, and I receive regularly emails from Hackster.io and today's email is the first one that I get for this: " LAST CHANCE TO GET A FREE AZURE SPHERE! " Well, it seems there was not any chance for some time and there was not sent on time. At least stop sending these emails, because it is very frustrating and annoying now, like "You missed a great opportunity, deal with it!" This will leave some negative emotions when thinking about the companies involved in all this. Not good...
