Hi there,
So, the Alarm has been ringing but influencers are hitting the snooze button. 
Arduino wasn’t the first to fall. companies are seeing an opportunity to raise there price by shoehorning in AI in every dam portion, what’s next an “AI push button” 
they read your fingerprint and only work if it’s a match"
Dibs, my idea LOL…
It’s not dead yet and it’s a Price gouge , for example a certain co. sent me a Really unbelievable New board to test out, However the Nvidia module is the price of a small car. needless to say, +($80)tarrif 
it’s still in the BOX. 
makers are struggling financially because they do it from passion not for profit most of them anyway. PC’s are next.IMO

I also think US dollar inflation is a part of this
Hi there,
So Can you read between the lines here… I can.. Agree 
"The Raspberry Pi 4 With 3 GB RAM Is No Joke "
Although easily dismissed by some as another cruel April Fools joke, Raspberry Pi’s announcement of a new 3 GB model of the Raspberry Pi 4 along with (more) price increases for other models was no joke. Courtesy of the ongoing RAMpocalypse, supplies of LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 are massively affected, leading to this new RPi 4 model with two 1.5 GB LPDDR4 chips, as these are apparently cheaper to source.
Affected in this latest price increase across RP’s product range are RPi 4 and 5 models with 4 or more GB of RAM, with price bumps ranging from $25 on the low end to $150 for the Raspberry Pi 500+. If you wanted a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB of RAM, you’re now paying $300 for the privilege.
Obviously, this news has got people like [Jeff Geerling] rather down in the dumps, essentially stating that using SBCs like the RPi is now beyond the means of many hobbyists.
see what is Happening?
HTH
