@arstechnica Raspberry 'i munch on your microsd cards' pi

@arstechnica The design reminds me of the iMacs of the early 00s... looks cool!

@arstechnica Since the release of the raspberry pi 500 is being shared everywhere, now is a good time to mention that in 2022, raspberry pi hired an ex-cop with a background in surveillance tech and had zero issues with that.

When confronted about it, they simply blocked everyone voicing concerns. Don't spend a dime on their shit.

@peterp @arstechnica are they supposed to fire him? It's not illegal for an undercover officer to wear recording equipment to prove admission of guilt in court.

If you're a privacy maximalist who believes nothing, not even in public, not even for a criminal investigation, should be audio or video recorded without everyone's consent—sure, RP hired a bad guy and you should never buy from RP again.

Otherwise, this is just being alarmist.
