Raspberry Pi gets eye-watering price rises, new 3GB RAM model

I realised a while ago that it’s way cheaper to hunt for second-hand intel NUCs, and the resulting machine is way more powerful… And the RAM and storage is upgradeable, if the NUC didn’t come with plenty of storage or RAM already…
Basically the only benefit the Pi has is GPIO pins for embedded projects.
Pi is also a fraction of the power consumption (meaning also heat dissipation requirements) and physical size.
My thinkcentre draws power but not that much power. Also, just combine it with an ESP and you get the best of two worlds.
