What happened with raspberry pi?

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's more expensive than what it is really worth years ago, among many other problems. It was a cheap and reliable programming platform when it was Raspberry Pi 1.

That's not enshittification, that's just a price increase. I'd hardly say it's the same as this change to arduino

Raspberry pi was founded as a cheap accessible computer that schools with few resources could afford. $25 boards, or if you had big bucks $35. With the intention the price would stay like that with improving technology. They broke this model with the rpi4 and have only gone up in price.
