oh lol my bad sync is still running, I just got my tabs confused

what the hell is going on
when normal people ask me for computer advice I generally say "I don't know anything about computers that small, sorry"

yeah, you're probably going to find similar pricing just about everywhere. industrial suppliers aren't likely to carry the generic boards. some hobby suppliers might but it's probably still going to be cheaper on amazon
adafruit and sparkfun are two of the big players in the hobbyist market. digikey and mouser are industrial suppliers that will sell small quantities to individuals.

you can also find a lot of generic dev boards and parts on amazon if you're a person who uses amazon
