And still no sign of the Raspberry Pi 5!

Why would they bother making an rpi 5? They already rake in cash selling more 3's and 4's to business vendors than they can even produce, so fuck innovation and fuck the consumer.

Given that they still seem to be having issues supplying enough RPi 4s for everyone who wants them, I find it unsurprising that they're not tooling up for a new iteration quite yet.

That’s a fair point! Hadn’t thought about it from that perspective
