Raspberry pi is public. They have a clear profit motive behind the upsell. Clear as day.

I knew it was happening the second they mentioned “IPO”. Company was cooked.

Yes with the asterisk that a decent amount of the off-grid hardware hidden in trees around the country will probably never get a firmware update. Because people have either forgotten about them or can no longer reach them. It’s already a big issue with orphaned nodes running outdated firmware clogging up the default LongFast channels in more densely populated areas.

on [US] House passes bill requiring AM radio in all new cars sold nationwide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
have a hard time believing that AM receivers are that expensive for cars that it’s really worth the trade-of
Its not about the cost of the radio, the hardware for a digital am receiver at this point is pennies… The issue is electric and hybrid drivetrains generate a lot of very strong localized EMI from the motors and motor inverter drives, and AM is inherently bad at rejecting EMI so it usually wipes out most stations unless they are very strong. It gets really expensive trying to reduce or filter that out.

on Hackers Stole Flock’s Camera Software, Revealing How the Company Tracks Cars and People in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Sep 2026
So to the surprise of no-one, it can and does take and send photos of pedestrians and faces, just like Flock assured us it doesn’t. Sure the camera itself does not run facial recognition, but those images are still being sent back home which means they ARE processing them.
Also the amount of errors and instability they describe is fucking hilarious. Thse cameras are built like shit.

Make your own!
Packing styrofoam and a hot knife sculpting tool is not super expensive. Glue slabs of styrofoam together until it’s big enough then cut it down. final wrap it with plaster and paint it

on Flock Camera Tells Cop New Car Didn’t Have Insurance When It Did, Cop Writes Ticket Anyway in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Even though it doesn’t seem like the cameras are being used to actually fight crime.
Just in the last week I noticed a huge uptick in news articles about crimes being solved “with the help of” Flock systems. They’re trying too little, too late to drive the narrative.

Oh oh oh but I thought I was told these cameras are only simple license plate readers and do not track pedestrians or faces???

Dessalines tried to build a hardcoded “bad word” filter into the Lemmy backend, very open source of him. It got canned by the community backlash only after someone dug it up.
And the Lemmy.ML instance that these two devs directly administer is very well known for banning anyone who speaks critically of China or Russia in any capacity, with all the misinformation and propaganda that comes with it.It is not a vapid buzzword. They do not deserve your western money.

No offense to the Lemmy project as a whole, but those authoritarian tankies won’t see a cent of my money.

on Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
Xfinity is absolutely collecting (and probably selling) data on the traffic of every device on your network.
They’re doing that anyway via the modem. Unless you are tunnelling everything your ISP sees every byte you send.

on Spotify threatens industry with ad-skipping tool: "Skip Ahead" is available for Premium users in selected markets, and enables them to skip entire ad breaks, intros, sponsorship messages. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
I have Spotify premium (the one single subscription habit I allow myself) and haven’t heard an ad for years. But that is for music.
They are talking about when Spotify is used for podcasts and long form content, where creators often insert sponsored sections by themselves.
I have to disagree. They are better hardware with way worse software support. Pi’s one big selling point is how out of the box friendly they are, meanwhile getting an orange pi flashed and booting Linux is an interesting experience using a Chinese flash writer with no English translation (back when I tried an orange pi 4).
