    I just refuse to buy anything at these inflated hardware prices due to the AI pandemic.
    I’ll just keep all my old tech… Someone is profiting and i’m not getting a better product for it.

      Agreed. The worst is the components for self hosting and builfing your own gear is also caught in this. Raspberry Pi prices are crazy
