They've completely lost the plot. Raspberry Pi was founded on the principle of hacking, education, and doing more with less. It's their DNA, but now it's clear all they give a shit about is money. They are corporate garbage now, like so many other organizations in the FOSS community that gave up freedom and openness for the Almighty dollar (or pound in this case).

Are there any companies that make comparable products? I've been thinking of making a simple and small and low power media computer and I'd rather it not be a raspberry pi anymore
