    Rich of them to claim that "users will complain" when their platform is built for hobbiests and tinkerers. What a terrible stance.

      It's tough but I'd still wager that more hobbyists and tinkers will complain when their 8GB Pi that they bought from Amazon, or anywhere really, won't actually run their project that they wanted to use 8GB for properly because that 8GB is little more than a fiction.

        They ought to complain to Amazon, then. They were sold one thing but delivered something else.

          Yes.

          Except linked in this exact discussion is a thread where the person is asking RPi for remedy instead because the seller has been unable to assist (i.e. has run off with their money).

            I wish you&#x27;d be more specific on what link in a different thread you mean. This one? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;raspberrypi&#x2F;rpi-eeprom&#x2F;issues&#x2F;761" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;raspberrypi&#x2F;rpi-eeprom&#x2F;issues&#x2F;761

            That RAM is not fiction, it was working before they updated and worked again when they removed the update. It&#x27;s failing verification, not failing to function.
