"Prices (on Raspberry Pis) are going up by over $100 in some cases thanks to those AI fools."

Wow, The Verge. Don't hold back, now.

Wild that the highest-end Raspberry Pi (500+) is now $409.

These Raspberry Pi price hikes are no joke

Raspberry Pi is raising its prices again due to RAM price hikes and launching a 3GB version of the Pi 4, which it says isn’t an April Fool’s joke.

@mattmay I've had a Pi 5 16GB starter kit in my Amazon cart since the end of December, and I've watched it go from ~$190 up to $350, now in that short amount of time.

@cgrymala For once in my life I actually feel lucky I've stockpiled Pis, RAM, SSD, etc. every Black Friday. It's all 2-4x what I paid for it.

I bought a 1TB off-brand SSD a year and a half ago for $49!
