Meh. These sorts of restrictions are a problem with cell phones because you have two choices. For this application, you can just get a raspberry pi for about the same price. And they’re not even taking it away from ones that I already had it. They just aren’t selling the ability anymore so you know it when you bought it. | ||

Whoever ends up using these devices second hand will be in for a rude awakening, which is bad for that person (even if it means that it just ends up going to ewaste and they get nothing) and bad for the environment. It's also bad for anyone who orders one new and isn't aware of the changes, although I agree that that is less bad than with phones due to the fact that a pi largely mitigates it. | ||

Yeah, but then you are not the target audience, watching Amazon Prime and Netflix on the Raspberry Pi. | ||
