    Lots of things to criticize rPi foundation for, but this is just goofy BS.

      Not the foundation. They’re not the ones who’ve funked up the product, it was and is the stupid profit-driven sister corporation to which they’ve outsourced design and manufacturing. The foundation exists only for educarional stuff now.

        My wife still uses the hardware, but with only Debian on it.
        Personally they lost me, fucking up like that, I don’t trust them.

        You keep posting this article but it explains clearly why it’s not a big deal.

          I just found the article to prove that it happened.

          You then have to ask why it wasn’t announced, and why they changed the practice?

          There are several problems about it, which I stated elsewhere in this thread. You may think they are not an issue, and that’s OK.
          But I DO think it’s a serious issue, in part for the reasons stated previously.

          Now I think I’m out of here, this is not something that actually has my interest anymore, since we use Debian on our old Pi’s , and will not buy any more.
