I feel like me ordering a half dozen of these to control lights and sprinklers or random network pi-holes is the equivalent of the toast buttering robot on rick and morty. poor things will never live to their potential, but here we are.
But, will we be able to buy them when we need them? I sure hope so. There have been a few moments I really needed one and couldn’t get one at less than 150% markup. I am down to one RP4b
Any word about shipping volumes? Is this RPI 5 going to be like a unicorn or the are plans to produce them in real volume?
Good to know, so I’ll wait till 5 is released instead of getting a 4 (they’re heavily overpriced anyways).

Priced wonderfully as well, fantastic.
It starts at $60. The point that really launched the Pi’s popularity was that it was only $35.
Can’t really compare from that long ago, given the current economical situation and inflation.
But it’s also better hardware, they still sell older models too, so if you don’t need the performance increase then there’s cheaper options still available (and different models to further narrow down to what you need it for). I think they are defo worth $60.Yeah it’s weird that they don’t have plans for that price point. I mean, given inflation the starting price should be closer to $50 USD, so I’m guessing they’re going to continue production of RPi4 to keep that entry level low.
I wonder how well Minetest will run in it.
Can it decode x265 as my pi4 media player struggles with that and only plays the audio stream? So x264 is my current preferred format but comes in at much bigger file sizes.
4Kp60 HEVC decoder
So, yes.
Awesome! Pi5 replacement incoming then :)
