Whether it was a PS5 or a new graphics card for your gaming PC, everybody likely has one device or gadget they weren’t able to buy during the pandemic. For me personally, it was the Raspberry Pi.
You see, the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s single-board computer is highly versatile and while you can use it as a desktop PC, it can also make a great web server, Wi-Fi extender, Network-attached storage (NAS) device and more. The possibilities are almost endless but until recently, there was just one problem. You couldn’t buy one anywhere without dealing with scalpers who jacked up the price by more than five times its original cost.
