      New article and video with Eben Upton about the future of the Pi. Some discussion about ending the shortages within the year and the obligatory clickbait about the pi 5.

        @George-Spiggott thanks for posting. Good read, and I hope that's the case. The cost of a Pi4 is becoming out of reach for a fun project now. With some time, maybe the price returns to a sensible and affordable level again.

          I also noticed that he talks about three formats ongoing, the 'Compute', the 'B' and the 'Hundred'. No mention of the 'A' or the Zero.

            @George-Spiggott I guess time will tell all.

              @jamrom2 True. Maybe he was thinking exclusively of Pi4/Pi5 spec devices. The Zero generally lags behind by a generation or so, currently being similar in spec to the Pi3. I've never really seen the point of the 'A' boards especially when the compute boards exist.
