It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

Unfortunately they use Chinese CPUs (made by Rockchip)

Which Pi alternatives don't?

Libre Computer offers some SBCs with Amlogic CPUs. I think the Le Potato might be the most popular one. I just ordered an Alta AML-A311D-CC. I'm really excited to try out how well it performs!

Okay, and?

"The attack by Chinese spies reached almost 30 U.S. companies, including Amazon and Apple, by compromising America’s technology supply chain, according to extensive interviews with government and corporate sources."

Perhaps they're worried about something similar happening.

Yeah, that's certainly a thing, but I'd be surprised if China messed with something like Pine64, that's a pretty low-value target to spend so many resources attacking. The bigger targets would be large corporations like Amazon and Apple, as well as military institutions and contractors.

It's certainly a valid concern, but it's also a pretty minor one.
