Exactly. And people wonder why shit is so expensive. Faggots that never worked a day in their lives. They buy all the stock of popular products and resell them at a 50% markup. Walmart is one of the worst. People use bots to scalp deals then turn around and resell it on Walmart's website. Last summer it was next to impossible to find a bike for my kids. Fuck anyone who does it.

You just described "front running". This is an illegal, yet prevalent activity in the stock market. HFT algorithms watch trading patterns and jump ahead of trade orders. They buy the instrument before the other orders, mark it up and resell it. Despite being illegal, insiders do it because they never get prosecuted.

There is still stocks of other manufacturers out there, ODROID and Pine64, both of which are supported through Armbian. I assume you can still get some OrangePi and others as well, but the first two seem to be more readily available. There are still stocks of the Pi 400 out there as well.

It's a shame that Adafruit is such a woketard companyy. They've done a lot of the open source community, and their selection of small microcontroller boards is unparalleled. But they seem to be more concerned with a career criminal's death than being a good citizen.

There's a reason I don't buy from Adafruit... can't remember exactly why... but I know it had something to do with wokeness and it was so horrendous I had to write a lengthy email to them explaining exactly why they are a bunch of faggots and why they lost a good customer.

They were all mad that Fentanyl Floyd got what he deserved.

Damn man... That's a fantastic memory you've got there.

If it weren't for the fact that their name has "fruit" in it, I probably wouldn't remember exactly which company I'm not being friendly towards. Once the "fruitcakes" association was made... the rest was history.

The whole thing sucks, though. I've got a project I'm working on right now that uses an SD card breakout board of theirs, that I've bought several years ago. I have others, but this one is bare bones with no electronics on it, which is what I want. I've thought about tossing it in the trash out of principle, but hey... 1) the company name is on the bottom and out of sight, and 2) it was purchased way before I settled on the boycott decision.

Part of me wishes they'd write back and say "Hey... look man... We're sorry, and we canned the blue-haired faggots... We promise to never get into identity politics ever again..."

I know what you mean. I posted in another comment about how Adafruit has done a lot for the microcontroller community and has an amazing array of products. But I just can't get past the wokeness of the company. If you look at their purple-hair founder, it's not surprising.

When you say you have an SD card breakout with no electronics, is it something like this? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/544

I do list links on the side of the sub, so there are other routes to search for cheap Raspberry PI units
