The aim of those buying up all the RAM is to prevent people owning devices capable of serious computing, so we have to rent what we used to have back from them, with added censorship and surveillance. Sam Altman has been explicit about how he wants no one to own RAM except companies running data centres. The Raspberry Pi becoming unfeasibly expensive is just an example of that forced transition from owning to renting playing out. When it was introduced the Pi cost $15 $35. We’re in a different world now.

16GB on a pi doesn’t even make sense. It’s super inefficient. That ramm would be much better off in a datacenter \s

Ummm can’t you just buy a full size all-in-one motherboard for that? I mean, if you need small size sure, but I originally bought Pi’s because they were cheap and small. Now they’re just small.

$385 for a 16 GB Pi seems crazy.
