Remember, they are no longer a charity organization, but a publicly traded for-profit business that is “mostly owned” by a charity. If you wondered why they were overpriced and enshittifying, that is why.
Sorry, stupid question because I don't pay attention to embedded hardware stuff. Not at all trying to be offensive or start anything. I really am ignorant.
In the software space, many FOSS run for-profit to keep the open-source version funded.
What's different in this situation?
I thought they were overpriced due to supply issues. From what I've seen prices are back to where they should be.
