Install Docker engine (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). I recommend installing Docker Compose as well.
Run Pihole's official Docker container (https://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/).
Change the settings for your home router to tell devices to use your Pi-hole for DNS. Odds are your router is getting DNS settings from your ISP, and it's passing the information along to your home devices.
Honestly, follow a guide online. In fact, a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole (which has "Pi" in its name) is a such a common use case, there are probably hundreds of guides for exactly this.
As far as these kinds of things go, it's really simple. But if you are unfamiliar with installing and using Linux or Docker, the whole task is going to seem a lot more daunting. The 4 steps above are just high level instructions for what to do.
Also, you don't need a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole. Any mini PC or used laptop/desktop would work fine for this if you are just learning. So don't feel the need to get a Raspberry Pi just for this use case if you have easy access to cheap or free old computer hardware.

So now they found themselves in limbo and are trying to offload overstock that nobody buys. Hopefully those who are super greedy will learn a lesson the hard way. Let the crooks go bankrupt.

- Install any typical Linux distribution on your Raspberry Pi. This includes the official Raspberry Pi OS, formerly called Raspbian. But it can be something more generic like Ubuntu or Debian.
- Install Docker engine (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). I recommend installing Docker Compose as well.

I have like half a dozen various models. If someone wanted to put RetroPie together on a Pi to play classic 8 and 16 bit games, this is overkill (you can achieve it with a RasPi 3).

I got word from others at our company that Dell has suddenly stopped pushing extended warranties for their desktops and laptops. What used to be a cash cow is now a liability. Dell isn't confident that they'll be able to supply replacement parts in the future. And even if they are able to source the parts, the price may have risen so much that future replacements could eclipse the cost of the warranties.
If it's made-up, I think the liars are the memory manufacturers that are higher up the food chain.

1) Spread bs into public media
2) Monitor supply-demand ratio
3) Limit supply to keep shortage
Manufacturers usually have direct access to the producers, and they are impacted the least (so is the Raspberry).
The RAM production production process is not that complicated. Moreover chinese ram producers are banned from the western supply chain.

common uses:
--pi-hole
--DIY NAS
--Simple learning computer for kids using linux
--Small homelab type stuff via docker
--Home Assistant hub
--immich host
--Small AI hub
there are a ton of things you can do, just depends on what you want to do, want to learn, or need.
(I love rpi, I've made some arcade cabinets and a few other one off things as just a fun weekend project. I'm currently working on a thematic mini weather station. I have no problem with the concept as a whole but the whole original idea for me was to work around these hardware restrictions and make fun little projects affordable)
Fight me.

That said, what others are saying about the utility of the 8GB/16GB models is also true. I have some that were purchased at lower than original MSRP (Micro Center used to regularly mark down the 16GB model to $90 when the MSRP used to be $120) since the delta from 4GB/8GB at the time wasn't big, but there aren't many use cases where the higher RAM is truly necessary and you aren't better served by a similarly priced mini PC. Raspberry Pi SBCs have their place due to GPIO, small size, and power efficiency, but it's hard for me to come up with cases where you need those and 8GB/16GB of RAM.
