There's an interview with Eben Upton at ExplainingComputers here.

Until they switch to RISC-V that will continue to be the case. They main reason RPis are cheap is because they get a sweetheart deal from Broadcom.

That’s not true. The first 2 quarters will be improving stock levels of raspberry pi’s, by the second half of the year they’ll be back to pre-pandemic levels. The Pi 5 has been pushed back to 2024 so that they can get stock levels back up.

As the vast majority have already stated and I’ll happily pile on to the “big fucking deal because getting a Pi is nearly impossible unless you’re willing to wait a seeming eternity, or pay bullshit levels of cost” pile

Raspberry pi 5 is rumored to come out this year (hopefully early 2023). Hopefully it’ll be a decent stock (although I doubt it).

Pointless, since you can't get a Raspberry Pi anywhere.

I ordered a PI 4 8GB in September. I saw the anticipated delivery date as December. December gets here and I go online to check status. I missed the fact that the estimated delivery time is December 2023. Lost that project to someone that had the PIs already.

Yes, produce enough boards that scalping isn’t an issue
Otherwise there is a supply/demand mismatch and someone is going to take advantage of that by increasing the price, whether it’s a scalper, the Pi foundation increasing prices, or store markup.

Is it basically a choice of IR or no-IR? There’s no camera with a mechanically operated filter like you see in security cameras?

Hooray to an add on nobody will get to use because of how impossible it’s been to get a raspberry pi for 2 years.

Is there an actual solution to scalpers beyond limiting purchases to individuals?
After all, I might want others to resell my products in order to reach further markets and they might want to increase pricing on said products.
Maybe waiting lists?

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-autofocus-camera-modules/Would have been a better link than the verge to link. Now with that said for most use cases it is the same as camera module 2 just with a motorized focus so you don't have to move it by hand every time you have to move the lens.
Pixels are bigger not smaller going back to what the Camera Module 1 had for pixel size.you do get 720p @ 100fps or 1080p @50fps.
1 gram heavier.
wider horizontal but smaller vertical view
On a up note it is basically a drop in replacement for camera module 1 and 2 if you are using the modern libcamera software environment otherwise your raspberry pi will not work with it. For most is will be an entire system redo due to how important the environment working in is. So going from 1 to the other but wanting to keep the other's software intact is a new SD Card is needed for the raspberry pi.
It is a good camera for IoT stuff and for hobbyist stuff not so much if you want to use it in a company use kind of way.
Edit: fixed formatting

Yeah I'd prefer it if they would just focus on producing Raspberry Pi boards. Everyone hates console and graphics card scalpers, but Pi scalpers are a huge problem too. It's been nearly impossible to buy a Pi at MSRP for years now.

And you’ll easily be able to order one any time you want but still need to hunt websites like you are looking for a console on release day to get the actual raspberry pi.

Oof, beat em by 3 years. It's kind of funny that Apple people still think they're first to everything just because the advertising wasn't shoved down their throat when it happened.
Also: in before apple releases the first ever vr headset!

VR is selling pretty much as expected for an emerging industry. Nothing particularly bad or worrying going on here.
You often have a year or two with a decline (and this decline is arguably mostly attributed to the worldwide economy).

Reply to comment by ADHDK in Ember's upcoming Travel Mug 2+ can be tracked in Apple's Find My app by No-Drawing-6975
Pretty ridiculously slowly for me tbh.
I work a 10 hour overnight shift and I'm in a car for the majority of it. It's not uncommon for me to make a cup of coffee last 6+ hours. When I go to take a sip around 1 or 2am and my coffee is still the exact same temperature, it hits me in my soul.
I love my Ember mug, but I agree I think it's for an extremely niche customer base with circumstances like mine.

Would be nice if they launched some raspberry pi zero 2s you could actually buy
