Raspberry Pi Manufacturer RS Group Ends License After a Decade | Tom's Hardware
In 2012 there were two main manufacturers and suppliers of Raspberry Pi boards. Element14 (part of the Premier Farnell network) and RS Group (RS Components). It was these two websites which took the full brunt of the eager masses, clamouring to get hold of the $35 single board computer upon its release. But a story on XTech Nikkei states that in an email sent to users on August 10, RS Group's license to manufacture and retail Raspberry Pi ended effective from June 2022. This marks the end of a 10-year license agreement between RS Group and Raspberry Pi.

Announcing Dumpster Dive 2022!
Dumpster Dive is back! A few months ago, we asked how you wanted to hear about Dumpster Dive announcements and we listened. It’s been a while since we had a dive, so mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 14th - and maybe set an alarm or two, just to be safe.
We've gone through our inventory, raided our engineer's offices, and taken unused samples. In doing so, we've found hundreds of pounds of Dumpster Dive material to send you! This year the one-pound boxes will be returning for $30; you’ll find boards, LEDs, kits and more inside!
