A price low enough to be within reach of edu customers, without sacrificing value or quality. This is achieved by reducing margins, and when you reduce margins, as a business you have to do more with less.

We are now also seeing companies staying private much, much longer. This is tough on the employees who quite often can't offload their equity.

By way of background, we sell STEM electronics hardware that has really low margin because it's designed to be excessively priced for education. This need to be extremely efficient has caused us to do all sorts of things, like create s

Perfect! It turns out this was a Sonos Play 5 too[1], although mine is seems to be a newer Model S100! Funnily enough, I own an electronics company and Dave is just down the road :-) [1] https://files.littlebird.com.au/pb-Bf

You’re looking at it wrong. The 5 doesn’t simply replace the 4. Raspberry Pi has committed to keeping the Pi 4 in production until 2034. Even the Pi1B+ will be available until 2030 at pretty much the same price as launch day!

If you look at all their accessories, particularly the country-specific customisations for keyboards and power supplies, Raspberry Pi now offers an incredibly large range of SKUs.

Shipping is a fraction of what the system does. To completely automate shipping you need an understanding of inventory etc. To do automated customer service, you need knowledge of shipping, inventory etc.
