Is it falling demand, or are people just not bothering?
Me, I really need a Raspberry Pi, because it's the perfect thing for my application, and there's not a good substitute.
So I'm willing to order it and wait, and lo, my order from Mouser went from "6 months" to me getting it in a month and a half. (got 3x 3B+)
But I see a lot of commentards going "I wanna Pi, but I'm not going to WAIT for one!" and storming off in a huff (as commentards do)
So it's NOT "rising inflation and talk of a possible global recession" - it's just people not putting up with the crap and finding something else to do.
