I know the first thought that came to my mind was: damn, I'll have to find new hardware when my Pi dies.

- Draiken 2y agoIt's more about who hasn't talked to me about RPi ever: regular people. Regardless, I posed it as a question exactly because I don't know.

- tucnak 2y agoSo what do we believe marketing materials now? Next up: Google is organising the world's information, NOT selling ads! Raspberry Pi used to be a platform for education first and foremost, but you don't get very far with this so they took on some funding to get ahead. Anti-VC whining is quite tangential to the product itself.
- karaterobot 2y agoYou asked who told them that. I'm speculating, but I thought the answer might be that Raspberry Pi told them that.
