As one of the commentors said... Sh*t happens. Not their fault...

• joezydeco 15y ago
  I don't see it the same way. The article says they spec'ed a certain part on the BOM and the manufacturing house dropped in a different part. I see this all the time from overseas board houses that think they can get away with subbing in a cheaper part and charging the same price. If this was my vendor and something like this happened, believe me, this would not be "Shit Happens" and a shrug all around from my management.

    To be fair, the "shit happens" statement is from the POV of a customer - and that's quite correct. We don't have further insight in to what the Raspberry Pi foundation is doing or communicating to their manufacturer and I doubt it's a "ship happens" attitude there as well - but that's just a guess and that's all either of us really have.

    As the other commentor fairly points out, I am dismayed at the manufacturer's behaviour, but the Foundation, no worries, I'll let it slide. :P

    Exactly, let's hope they don't do the same to other parts.
