Raspberry Pi is actively preventing enthusiasts from upgrading soldered memory to a larger configuration even when the replacement chip is technically compatible. The company says the restriction is intended to discourage unofficial high-capacity resales.
I’m now trying to imagine what series of events would lead to you being shot because of subpar soldering skills.
This is 2026, and I’m American, so there are a LOT of ways to get shot for dumb shit.
Have you not seen Swordfish? I imagine something like that, but with a soldering iron not a keyboard.
