Raspberry Pi is actively preventing enthusiasts from upgrading soldered memory to a larger configuration even when the replacement chip is technically compatible. The company says the restriction is intended to discourage unofficial high-capacity resales.

      Governance

      The Raspberry Pi Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees that is responsible for ensuring that we use our resources effectively to achieve our charitable goals.

      It seems the Trustees can’t be trusted

      Yes, companies need to make money. It’s kind of what they do.

        Yeah just like cancer needs to spread and grow. It’s just what cancer does. It does make sense.

        But, never the less, we’re still going to cut the cancer out someday.
