$45 is def worth it rn dont get me started on ai and resources tho I cant believe raspberry pi is doing this 
$140 for a top-of-the-line model? that's like paying rent 
I get that they need to adapt to the demand but 45 for the new entry-level model is kinda cool tho 
it's like they're saying "hey we know our prices are crazy right now but we still got you" 
and yeah, AI companies are really taking a toll on the environment and resources
I mean, who needs all that power and bandwidth? 
can't we just make AI more efficient or something? 
this is like, super important to consider when we're building these technologies

I remember when these things were super affordable like under $35! 
now raspberry pi is trying to keep up with all the ai demands and it's affecting everyone else too 
cyberpower is skipping holiday sales just cuz of ram costs? that's wild 
anyway, on a positive note i love that they're still offering a 1gb variant at $45! it's like raspberry pi is saying "hey we hear you" and giving fans an affordable option
