    Here’s the solution. Stop using Arduino. That’s how people power work. Then a new open alternative will pop up, and people can start using that. Ones desire to create and build, should never belong to only one brand - but a universal brand - whenever possible.

      Hopefully places like Adafruit will stop stocking them. They should also post explanations for people searching directly for them.

      i think it was already dead and replaced by the esp32s - the original arduinos are too expensive for what actually offered: get the performance of a 8-bit cpu with 2k RAM but at raspberry pi prices

        Exactly. Why would anyone still use Arduino when alternatives are both better and cheaper?
