Radon Mitigation system installed

You can, but it also usually requires drilling through the concrete slab in your basement, and through an outside wall to your house.

On top of that, you need to seal any holes that might exist in the concrete. Like around your sump or water inlet or God forbid any cracks.

Then also, you have to make sure that you know how much air the fan is pulling, and have a way to monitor the flow so you know if it stops.

In short, parts are cheap. Labor and continued safety aren't.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

This was always going to be the result. Smith had to change the rules surrounding petitions to allow for fewer signatures to even get this referendum.

I am far more worried about the other 9 questions. I didn't think we hated immigrants here as much as the Republicans down south, nor did I think a majority would approve Smith and her cronies trying to make constitutional changes just because they dislike the Liberal government.

Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgrades

the measure is primarily intended to prevent third parties from buying lower-capacity boards, replacing their RAM with cheaper parts of uncertain origin and then reselling the modified hardware as a higher-capacity model. The company argues that such modified boards have not undergone its validation process and could subsequently generate support requests if unstable memory is blamed on the company.

The solution to this decidedly rare problem is authorized resellers, not an arbitrary block on a very technically demanding upgrade.

That's assuming this is the actual problem though. If the problem is actually "We want to make more money by charging extra for 'enthusiast models'" then this is the correct tactic to ensure that you aren't undercut by cheap labor.
