    I’m only half way through but the TLDW so far is that the consumer DIY market is in collapse. Component suppliers are in bad financial shape, and many will probably not survive the down-turn.

      Does make you wonder what we will be left with. Probably not all components gone. But likely less choice.

      Could get a pi, they seem to be popular enough to not go away any time soon.

        Did you see the Pi price increases though? Ouch. A mini-PC is likely better value now.

          Mini PC prices are also going up. But yeah they are also an interesting choice to look at.

          I’ll game on a pi zero before I subscribe to run them on a data center.
