“Right now” for Pi inflation has been since like 2016. This is just their price now.

Well that sucks. I've heard the competitors are pretty good now though.

Yeah, there’s a lot of competition in SBC these days. People seem to like the OrangePi lineup and some others.

Or for anything where a miniPC would do the same job, there's tons of miniPCs running 7th gen and older processors available for peanuts since Microsoft arbitrarily declared them to be incompatible with Windows 11, and Windows 10 goes EOL in just 13 months.

HP prodesks for example are down to $100ish on eBay
