This is tangential, but when did Raspberry Pi get so expensive? I'm in the EU and starter kits that used to cost maybe €50 are the far side of €250 or even €300. The bare boards are over €200 (!)

This happened when commercial and industrial corporations started using them in bulk for IoT platforms. The original price made it very attractive for their BOM and now they are willing to pay >$100 per RPi because put Docker and NodeRed on them and then they sell them for $300-400.

In short, supply chain issues have made a market for scalpers.
