          I used to purchase several Pi’s each time they released a new model and probably have a dozen in total.

          But I haven’t purchased any since they told all of their hobbyist and retail user base to go fuck themselves during the chip shortages.

            Same! I have a veritable stack of 3b’s still, some pi 4s - all stopped by the time the 4’s compute module came out in octoberish? of 2020.

            Haven’t bought anything of theirs since.
