In all 3x sections for this course, there are "Untitled Course Item" - why? Better mention something, or use AI to generate some simple title 🤷 Opening those Untitled Course Items starts installing environment dependencies and has some basic info mentioning that lectures are about to start and external references to documentation, but no further course material - this course cannot be taken, nor started, nor finished, it's pointless.
