Hah! And the value of the Pi for these kinds of ~industrial applications is why there was a shortage of Pis for hobbyists.

It's funny how Raspberry Pi started out for an educational market, and accidentally revolutionized the embedded market.

Even funnier is the history. IIRC, the very first Raspberry Pi was an idea based on a bunch of stock of shitty SoCs for set-top boxes that Broadcom couldn't get sold, so Eben Upton got these for cheap for the foundation he and a few others had started to promote computer literacy.

Honestly, in all my life I've never seen the Pi being sold in EU for €35. The min. price I've found has always been around 45/50, with Pi5 never under 75, because of scalpers
