I certainly agree that such a reseller should clearly state the modification, and not pretend its an authentic RPi 8GB unit. But if this is the real concern, they could just display the fact that "Unoriginal RAM detected" to infor

lets try proof by exhaustion: in those jurisdictions where either price discrimination or locking hardware are not illegal, it is typically perfectly legal to reverse engineer for compatibility purposes . So nothing prevents such resellers

could it be construed as anti-competitive to block end-users or resellers from swapping RAM?

Why not calculate the number of bits necessary before Sol goes supernova? The clock will only be as useful as long as the local star lasts, and when different star systems get populated they or their planets will use local clocks as well. I

Define the "parallel sum" a∥b=((a*b)/(a+b) A normal sum has the associative property: a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c which justifies dropping the parentheses a+(b+c)=a+b+c=(a+b)+c It is just an exercise for the reader that the parallel sum

not sure why the downvotes? I predict it would be possible to quantify the effects objectively, as a thought experiment: assuming functional proteins, gene regulation is about binding affinities of cellullar chemical species to promoter reg

can't wait until large scale datasets and LLM powered studies either debunk or confirm and quantify the effects objectively.
