A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's some other RPi alternatives out there with less supply issues, but it seems like those have less community support and nearly no vendor support, especially with binary blobs. I'm looking forward to RPis being more available again.

Upton said that Zero and Zero 2 stock would start returning and also said there would be "substantial" recovery for the 3, 3B+, and 4.

Sounds like we'll have to wait a little longer on the Zero, and I'm curious to see where its price settles because that's a big part of its utility. I had a few project ideas the last couple of years that I put on ice as soon as I saw the $10 Pi was currently $100. Eek!

I just want a few Zero 2 Ws for Airplay/Spotify receivers. I currently have a spare 3B+ running in my kitchen, but it feels like overkill.
