DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market

Today Raspberry Pi announced more price increases for all Pis with LPDDR4 RAM, alongside a 'right-sized' 3GB RAM Pi 4 for $83.75. The price increases bring the 16GB Pi 5 up to $299.99. Despite today's date, this is not a joke. I published a video going over the state of the hobbyist 'high end SBC' market (4/8/16 GB models in the current generation), which I'll embed below: But if you'd like the tl;dr:

I've been so concerned with measuring up to certain musical standards that it never occurred to me the rest of you don't give a SHIT so actually I'm already miles ahead. 🙄

Thanks for the "encouragement," "I'm just weird and I don't care if it's good I just play what I like" etc etc Reply Guys. 🖕

This is what CLASSICAL music training gets me. "You're stupid if you care about that" responses from the peanut gallery of "I do music for fun."

It's not FUN, you morons! It's supposed to be GREAT ART! And that means BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS!!!

But you'll never understand where I'm coming from, so I give up.
