Consequently, the game is going free-to-play (F2P), currently up to level 15. BioWare released a chart comparing subscription and free users, revealing F2P users get access to Store Content from levels 1-50. The remaining features are limited.
This power supply did get the Raspberry Pi LED's to light up. And it did work for a bit. But after everything was connected, my Laptop accessories suppliers repeated letters (such as "EEEEEEEEEEEE" ) even though I touched the "E" key once. Other keys wouldn't work at all. At first I suspected a bad keyboard, but after searching for "repeating keys" in the help forum and reading 45 results and the wiki, I learned the keyboard problem was likely due to the power supply. According to the wiki "common symptoms of an inadequate power supply are unreliable ethernet or keyboard operation … and SD card errors at startup." In order to tell if my power supply was inadequate, the wiki suggested I get out my multimeter and read the voltage across two test points on the circuit board. I don't remember having to do that on any of my other computers.
