"Available"

For bots to get the whole stock for corporate needs

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, what's the point. Just get one of the 30 some odd other ones.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

None of those are available either because this non-profit is all about serving corporations above everyone else.

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 6 points 11 months 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 3 points 11 months 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 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

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

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

They work pretty well. The upside is they are always available. The downside is less support for software like the pi foundation has invested into. But they do a great job as a Linux board and if you use a well supported distro, you should be fine.

At one point, we had to do a project with 40ish of these things. Worked out well and we couldn't get a pi, because since 2019 they are basically impossible to order in number.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s an Armbian distro. Down side is you can’t install Pi images for specific things, you need to build them manually, but other than that no real issues. Also you can run Android (that was trickier to setup as it needs a windows only tool to flash it to the SD card.

[–] mint_tamas@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What windows-only tool are you referring to?

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Phoenix card from their official tools. It’s apparently the only flasher that can properly flash android to TF card.

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

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months 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 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] Imma_lazyboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Try https://ropieee.org/. I use it for use with roon. But it also makes it work with Spotify and airplay. Just add some powered speakers or get fancy and a nice amp/combo. Hopefully that works for you.
