Even worse, continued RAM shortages and inflation might actually mean that will have been a good price in a year's time.

I hate this timeline: How is a Pi marginally cheaper than a Mac Mini?

That price I'd just buy an Optiplex or something

I have 4 RPi servers in my house on 24/7 but yeah

Funny different purpose but I bought a 2017 Pixelbook put Ubuntu on it, great machine it was $80

Every day I go to bed praying CXMT hurries the *$!@ up and dumps an ungodly amount of cheap RAM upon global markets
