ELI5: Why are SBCs nowhere to be found? - Lemmy NSFW

Been looking for RPI4 CMs for ages now and they’ve been sold out for as long as I can remember. Same with full size RPI4s and some Odroids. Is this just the new normal or are SBCs and CMs going to show up on the market again at some point?

I don’t get why people want these for self-hosting. They’re meant for GPIO and automation control. They’re massively underpowered.

Just use an actual SBC and leave these for electronics.

For one they make terrific 1Gbps routers with SQM. The Pi 4 has a pretty capable CPU.
