16gb model went from $305 to $385. Smaller increases for other models. Thanks Altman.

have used a chinese made bananapi as a router. paid like 100-120 for it. they are currently 400. it's not just raspberries this is happening to.

I was priced out of the hobby when I finally had the space and time to start getting into it. This just confirms it will stay out of my reach.

Where has this author been since the AI boom? We've been worried since crypto has been gobbling up and pricing out GPUs

Raspberry pis are a tragic waste of Sam's RAM.

They were already too goddamn expensive anyway.

That's what we should be worried about? Not the billionaire pedophile authoritarian rapist threatening to nuke Iran because an election isn't going his way?

Edit: ok, so, here's my deal. Yes you can be worried about multiple things. But fear is meant for things that are life threatening. None of your anxiety is wrong, just in my mind this is much more of a frustrating thing rather than worrisome.

Just get an esp32 or mini PC at this point.

I’m not worried, and you can’t make me.

Stop telling me to be worried for fucks sake

Shush! I will worry about what ever I want when ever I want, you don't need to tell me.

Why should I give a flying fuck? I have 3 lenovo tiny boxes, a Rpi4 4gb I got pre 2020, a stack of old laptops and phones, a compute stick and 4 tablets. And if I want to tinker (and I do), ESP32 + CYD is hard to beat.

The Pi 5 does nothing for me that I can't do faster or cheaper (or both) elsewhere. I could literally spend $20 on a WYSE thinclient to get something that's 3-4x the pi while being comparable in power draw.

No...if I want a shiny, I'll get a FPGA or a Commodore 77. If I want to thinker, I'll get ESP32s. And if I want low power always on compute...well, I'm good thanks.
