It's genuinely nice that you have fond memories of disassembling a George Foreman grill cluster, and also very sad that Sony killed Other OS, but that rugpull was pretty much inevitable once it was discovered that the PS3 running Linux was the finest Blu-Ray ripper man had conceived, which in turn was pretty much inevitable anyway since Sony gave access to the drive through the hypervisor.

As you say, statistically nobody is upgrading the RAM on their raspi, but it sure would be nice if customers who bought a bunch of these things could upgrade them to give them some life down the road. I've been for some reason continually surprised at how much rework capacity seems to be available, and I think they could reasonably contract that out.

While everything you said in your comment is true, we might and someday get an actually Open RISC-V implementation. It's legally possible, unlike ARM or x86. Perhaps we could instead have an outdated MIPS or SPARC, but why would we want that except for hobbyism? I honestly would like both, but only as toys.

From an end user point of view, I am using amd64. The OSS Linux drivers are just so good now there's almost no sense in using anything else at this moment if that's what you want to run. For once I regret buying an Nvidia GPU! But that's a whole other discussion.

Liz made a video showing Android working and saying they would release it soon, and then we never heard about it again.

At the risk of giving you an inadvertent complement, I've never seen a bigger hateboner than yours.

That is, to be fair, one of the nicer things you've said to me. In fact though it's your usual grade of hyperbolic hooplah because this is one of the things I've ranted about the least, at least in this decade.

Surely you know it exploded in popularity after Internet MAGA people started throwing the word around.

I have been working on keeping it around since they stopped using it when it became clear that they were the ultimate cucks. So yes, you are in this case 100% correct, coward. I was absolutely inspired by the maggots' use of cuck, but only indirectly because it only became good to me when it became embarrassing to them. Is that petty? Fuck 'em. Anything that beats them over the head with what they said has the potential, however slight, to get through their skulls.

They had to do something to counter this scam, and I'm at a loss as to what other course of action might have been viable. I'd be interested to hear your suggestions.

I think the best way to do it is probably through a trusted distribution chain. This can also be manipulated in nasty ways so some people won't trust it, but in it's what I would trust most. They'd need to do some testing of products sourced anonymously from those distributors to verify that it was working to make it trustworthy. I'd prefer it be in-house but they could probably afford to pay someone reputable at this point.
