There’s a really douchebag move here about them being able to fulfill LSE listing requirements but not fulfill supply side requirements to their own damn customers.
But hey, maybe a sudden cash injection post-IPO will help them actually sell their products.
Of course, then they’ll have the problem of raising their prices, and people will eventually say, you know what, no thanks, and just use a competitor SBC.
You already basically can’t buy from them at a price that makes sense, or at all.
And the really cool thing is their website lists a bunch of legacy products that no partner sells anymore so you get the great experience of trying to figure out what the hell you can buy from them in the first place.
- jamesgeck0 2y agoWhen was the last time you tried to buy one? rpilocator.com shows wide general availability, and my local MicroCenter has had a variety of models available for months.

- andrewmcwatters 2y agoWhy do you think that site exists in the first place?
- LeoPanthera 2y agoBecause it used to be difficult to find a Pi in stock. But now it isn’t.
- andrewmcwatters 2y agoMaybe it’s news to you, but after years of shortages, reputation doesn’t change in months.
