Probably because of the RAM lockdown thing, their firmware blocks unauthorized RAM components. They say it’s because scammers bought pis, replaced the ram with a shitty alternative and resold them. The non-malicious tinkerers and repair-enthusiasts obviously hate this for good reason.
That is stupid. All they needed to do, instead of making that draconian thing, was to print the RAM amount (in big, bold letters and numbers) on the PCB itself. If a Raspberry Pi owner complains to the RPi people about their board having some funny RAM issue, they could ask, "What's the RAM amount printed on your board?", the owner could tell the RPi person, and they could easily figure out if the RAM was tampered with.

Changed their EULA to claim ownership of new technologies developed on the Pi. Or something to that effect, it's been a while.

God dammit I remember thinking "qualcomm aquiring arduino is not for the better but hey, maybe arduino can do some cool stuff with the backing"
Nope ig corps really are just trying to kill every hobbiest space huh :/

That’s 4 words silly goose
They changed their firmware to disable you from upgrading the RAM

"I am acearo" is better than "I love you" because it directly counters it

Sorry to be that guy but the words "I love you" are used in toxic relationships more often than in wholesome ones.
If you need confirmation several times a day that someone still "loves" you then maybe re-evaluate what love really means to you.
