Raspberry Pi.
I love how such a small computer can overpower many of the computers I had for much of my life. And still overpowers moat of the old computers people still has today in my country.
Unfortunately, for a $35 computer, they sure are expensive.
the shortage seems to be over, they've increased production and secured chip supply so you should be able to find them at RRP again.
They're still $93 in Australia, for the Model 4 B 4GB, and still out of stock at most sellers.
People still selling them used for more than $100 on Gumtree and Market place.
ah yeah i see on https://rpilocator.com/?country=AU that only the pi4 is available from an official seller, hopefully that changes for you soon. We've got pretty much the whole range available in the UK now and for a couple of years it's been really difficult to get any of them, one type would come in to stock every few weeks and then sell out instantly
Plus the things you can do with it. I used mine to download stuff, run a plex server, home assistant, pihole. It's such a great addition to your home network.

MyCroft? At least that's the only one I know of. I think something like this could benefit me, reminding me of tasks to do and whatnot.
I wanted to set one up after realizing I had a Pi lying around, but that Pi has been in my drawer for quite some time, making it a 1st gen Model B. Good enough for a pihole though, so I did that in the meantime.
