Are Raspberry Pi available again?
- gjsman-1000 4y agoStrongly recommend looking at used Dell OptiPlex Micros. I have 2 5060Ms, 35W Core i3 8th gen, 2 RAM slots (8GB commonly included), NVMe slot (256GB commonly included), SATA slot, RTC, for about $150. Considering Raspberry Pi prices and the absurdly greater performance, it was a no-brainer for me.

- superkuh 4y agoMost people are buying rpis because they can throw some boot image on it made for the rpi and have things just work. A regular computer, no matter how much better in performance, doesn't just work. For example: you can't just throw a Birdnet-Pi (https://birdnetpi.com/ https://birdnetpi.com/) image on a normal PC and run it. There is plain Birdnet but it doesn't have any of the automation or the web interface for use Birdnet-Pi does. Instead it's pages worth of complex multi-argument commands you'd have to customize and you'd have to port the web interface yourself. Since most people want rpis for little projects like this a normal PC massively increases the complexity.

- graphe 4y agoThey always are. Why do you need them? Their high prices are probably because of Broadcom though, which is also why they made their own chip. It may never be cheap again.
- operatingthetan 4y agoNot really, no: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4295 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4295 High prices are because they've been getting scalped on the secondary market, so I wouldn't say that means they are "available."
