    namely the complete unavailability of 4B and 5 boards

    Is unavailability still an issue? My local computer store always has a lot in stock of them in stock these days.

      Considering the 5 isn’t even being sold yet, I question the validity of your anecdote. The 3B and 4/4B are still hit or miss as far as stock goes. I just bought a 3B from Digikey and it’s the first I’ve seen them in stock since before COVID though it’s not as if I’ve been checking rpilocator daily for updates.

        Yes it is. My local store had stock three weeks ago: https://x.com/centralcomputer/status/1719814131652440132. I didn’t buy one since I have enough computers, but I physically saw them at the store.

        Every time I’ve been there this year, they’ve had the Pi 4B in stock.
