Clearly, the age of cheap tech is over and done.
This is well documented.
(Yes, $80 is ridiculous, but so it goes)

But, to be fair, the Zero 2 is more like a regular Pi than it is like an
original Zero.  It was never less than $10.  It has always been about $20.

The original Zero, at $5, was truly a bargain.  But I don't think we'll
ever see that again.
