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

https://lemmus.org/post/21256112

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.
Which a $3 ESP32 can handle instead.
Where do you get your ESP32s from? They’re $10 each on Amazon

Bear in mind these are probably not production grade. So if you have a real use case that needs to last don’t use these. But for messing around and doing hobby projects these are fine.
