"Available"

For bots to get the whole stock for corporate needs

[–] jelloeater85 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, what's the point. Just get one of the 30 some odd other ones.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None of those are available either because this non-profit is all about serving corporations above everyone else.

We are continuing to increase our production rate, with the aim of fulfilling all backorders, and getting Raspberry Pi in stock at all our Approved Resellers, by the end of the year

I feel like I've heard that last part a few years in a row.

As far as Pi4's go, you can pretty much get them now without fucking around (albeit only in 2GB and above). I imagine Pi5's will be difficult for a while. New releases always are.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Pi4 regular boards yeah. The CM4 (Compute module 4) boards are a bit of a bitch to find though.

I wonder if we'll see a CM5 and whether it'll be compatible with the CM4 interface boards

[–] Evilcoleslaw 3 points 1 year ago

Ah cool. Last time I was looking for one was early in the year and I just gave up and got a different SBC.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They changed the board design to be much faster to produce by Sony, who manufactures them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You have, and they have been steadily (but slowly) making progresss across the board.

"Available"

[–] LazaroFilm 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh! Oh. Nevermind. Welp. Back to Orange Pi. At least they’re available.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"out of stock", "leading time" 17 weeks. Yeah..."Available". Sure.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Ah shit, here we go again.

Already sold out? Have they learned nothing? At this point they have to be doing it intentionally.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Scalp their own product and sell it for a markup just like how Nintendo does it with amibos and mini consoles.

[–] mesamunefire 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My pi 4 is worth much much more than I bought it for. It's insane.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same but it's too valuable for me to get rid of it.

If it's going to get scalped anyways, I would prefer we did it in the open auction style the first half year, with the RPI foundation getting the proceeds.

These scalper bots are adding nothing of value. Fuck em.

Does anybody know if they addressed the issues with WiFi and Bluetooth interfering with each other?

Hi, can someone point me to a good resource where I can ask for DIY solution of home speaker.

I need home speakers that can play music and messages from home machine.

Target music is something like jellyfin, messaging is not decided.

Goal is to have a speaker per room like Apple speaker, but controllable from Linux.
