Pi knockoffs offer a unique form of supply chain and technical risks

  Which is completely irrelevant to hobyists, and this board doesn't look like any Raspberry Pi anyway, so it's not a knockoff.

    >Which is completely irrelevant to hobyists The article says that there was already an item that could fit the bill (one of the ThinkPenguin mini-routers) but was out of stock. Sounds like a supply chain problem to me. >and this board doesn't look like any Raspberry Pi anyway, so it's not a knockoff. This is false, all SBCs are RasPi knockoffs. /s

  If the Orange Pi is a Raspberry Pi knockoff, then the Raspberry Pi itself is a knockoff of the Foxboard LX832 which predated the first Raspberry Pi by at least six years.

  Well, for some projects supply chain risks are better than no supply at all, so there's that.
