CEO: Raspberry Pi stock to hit 1M units monthly, starting in July (arstechnica.com)

There's some other RPi alternatives out there with less supply issues, but it seems like those have less community support and nearly no vendor support, especially with binary blobs. I'm looking forward to RPis being more available again.

Me reading "Raspberry Pi stock to hit 1M...": Shit, I didn't even know they were publicly traded, I thought they were a charity!

"...units monthly, starting in July": Oh, I'm a dumbass

I really miss getting a pi for less than 30€ for using in random projects.

[–] bird@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

For real. I have a few extra sitting around, but I hope we see the original prices again sometime soon.

[–] Wojwo@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Finally, I know there's alternatives, but they just aren't as frictionless to get working in projects.

[–] EnglishMobster@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does that mean these'll finally be reasonably priced again???

[–] jakobmn@feddit.dk 2 points 2 years ago

Let's hope so. I would really like a RPi4 to play with, but without a really good use case, I can't justify the cost to myself.

Upton said that Zero and Zero 2 stock would start returning and also said there would be "substantial" recovery for the 3, 3B+, and 4.

Sounds like we'll have to wait a little longer on the Zero, and I'm curious to see where its price settles because that's a big part of its utility. I had a few project ideas the last couple of years that I put on ice as soon as I saw the $10 Pi was currently $100. Eek!

I just want a few Zero 2 Ws for Airplay/Spotify receivers. I currently have a spare 3B+ running in my kitchen, but it feels like overkill.

[–] Cougar@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Thank god. I was thinking of getting one for a long time.

[–] WithaC@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Here's hoping! I really want a couple more 4's, but not at the scalper prices.

[–] dpunked@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I love my pi but I hardly see the reason to add more to my home. I use it as a central hub for all my esp32s. I feel like pis are almost to powerful for most of my projects at this point. Lets see if more supply encourages me to think of bigger things

i just want a CM5 with more than one pcie lane
