"Available"

For bots to get the whole stock for corporate needs

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 72 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sold out... remarks saying pre-order for next batches to ship in Dec or later. Yay...

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Preordered an 8GB… I’ll have it sometime next year wooooooo

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, my credit card was charged for pre-order almost a month ago - no updates

My local store is expecting initial stock in two weeks and are NOT doing any sort of pre-sales

We are continuing to increase our production rate, with the aim of fulfilling all backorders, and getting Raspberry Pi in stock at all our Approved Resellers, by the end of the year

I feel like I've heard that last part a few years in a row.

As far as Pi4's go, you can pretty much get them now without fucking around (albeit only in 2GB and above). I imagine Pi5's will be difficult for a while. New releases always are.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Pi4 regular boards yeah. The CM4 (Compute module 4) boards are a bit of a bitch to find though.

I wonder if we'll see a CM5 and whether it'll be compatible with the CM4 interface boards

[–] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah cool. Last time I was looking for one was early in the year and I just gave up and got a different SBC.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

They changed the board design to be much faster to produce by Sony, who manufactures them.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

You have, and they have been steadily (but slowly) making progresss across the board.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh! Oh. Nevermind. Welp. Back to Orange Pi. At least they’re available.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 34 points 2 years ago

"Available"

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Already sold out? Have they learned nothing? At this point they have to be doing it intentionally.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Scalp their own product and sell it for a markup just like how Nintendo does it with amibos and mini consoles.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My pi 4 is worth much much more than I bought it for. It's insane.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same but it's too valuable for me to get rid of it.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Its currently running a satellite tracker. Its a fun little project. Citizen science and all that.

[–] stewsters@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If it's going to get scalped anyways, I would prefer we did it in the open auction style the first half year, with the RPI foundation getting the proceeds.

These scalper bots are adding nothing of value. Fuck em.

Does anybody know if they addressed the issues with WiFi and Bluetooth interfering with each other?

[–] Kualk@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Hi, can someone point me to a good resource where I can ask for DIY solution of home speaker.

I need home speakers that can play music and messages from home machine.

Target music is something like jellyfin, messaging is not decided.

Goal is to have a speaker per room like Apple speaker, but controllable from Linux.
