It’s more expensive than what it is really worth years ago, among many other problems. It was a cheap and reliable programming platform when it was Raspberry Pi 1.
Raspberry pi was founded as a cheap accessible computer that schools with few resources could afford. $25 boards, or if you had big bucks $35. With the intention the price would stay like that with improving technology. They broke this model with the rpi4 and have only gone up in price.
First it was Raspberry Pi now Arduino. Is ESP32 all that’s left?
Is ESP32 open hardware?
nope.
What happened with raspberry pi?

Just because you’re broke and mad doesn’t mean raspi is enshittified
That’s not enshittification, that’s just a price increase. I’d hardly say it’s the same as this change to arduino

First sentence: agreed. The part after that, you could have done without. Be nice to people. Especially people who have less money.
Stay poor, loser
Really appreciate seeing folks voice this sentiment, thanks for contributing to a positive culture here :)
If you stalk my account you’ll see I won’t always be nice, but I would never kick downwards. ;)

Isn’t Arduino more of a software framework and less about the chips themselves? Arduino can run on ESP32 and also on a huge array of ATmega mcus.
I don’t actually know that! I have fiddled with esp32 a bit and was disappointed when Pi’s priced out most of the hobbyist market
