These days you'd be lucky to get the devices themselves. The prices have skyrocketed. The newly announced RPi Zero 2W for $15 goes for 54 Euro in a starter kit with 10 Euro worth of accessories. And the offer is now gone. Crazy. And the Regular RPi 4 is about twice as expensive as it was a year ago.

BTW, I don't care about the blob-freenes. I mean, i'd prefer it all things being equal but they are not. Sorry.

Rather support business/products that care about it. RPi foundation as a whole doesn't care about it enough to make it a priority.

If you like pain, you can try: https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 but it still requires blobs: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-e...irmware/stable
