Does this decrease or increase my odds of getting a Pi for MSRP?
Yes
Buy from Mouser or Digikey. They’ll just add you to the queue and eventually you’ll get one.
Last I looked they had the 4 in stock sitting around.
There are a LOT of Pi 4’s in stock right now: https://rpilocator.com/?cat=PI4%2CPI5
And Pi 5’s if you know where to look: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-5.html
You can buy a Pi 5 right now from MakerBright, they’ve been available all week: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-5.html
There’s a 1-2 week shipping delay and a $14 shipping charge, which kinda sucks. But this isn’t the pandemic chip shortage anymore, you can get a Raspberry Pi now. Especially if you want a Pi 4, they’re widely available: https://rpilocator.com/?cat=PI4%2CPI5
I guess RISCV-based SBCs are considered a serious threat, and are co-opting the largest and most respected player in this space.
Let the shittification games begin! Meanwhile if you need us, we’ll be looking for a different obscure controller to make an automated band wagon with and jump on it.
Welp.
