I’ve been trying to buy a CM4 to run Home Assistant, while in parallel, trying to buy a house. Buying a house was easier, and only slightly more expensive than rPi scalper prices :D

“If it breaks, throwing it out and buying a new one is cheaper than getting it repaired” has been true of many physical items for decades already - that part isn’t even a future prediction. Doing that on the scale of a whole house is a leap
