Yup, same. I really don't think the crypto mining/chia are as much to blame as people make it out to be here, though. For GPUs it's absolutely been a major factor, but the general component shortage combined with supply chain issues caused by the pandemic are more likely the cause I think.
Maybe specifically for SBCs and NUCs, I can be wrong and people running their own nodes are actually making a difference. I doubt it, since manufacturers and vendors are all citing shortage upstream rather than increased demand, but if that's the case I think That's Just A Good Thing, setting the stage for more digital independence and decentralization in general.
