Still the same situation, high demand, low production capacity, part shortages. Try finding an alternative SBC.
Personally I really like the BeagleBone black (https://beagleboard.org/black), because it has integrated flash (no more rummaging for a micro SD card), and lets you ssh over USB. (no more debugging network connectivity, or searching for a unused monitor). It still can boot from a micro SD or USB drive, so if the flash breaks (or gets bricked) it's easy fixable. The best part is no USB Mini-B connectors that break after ten uses. (Those things are cancer, they are absolutely awful and everywhere)
One thing to be aware of with them is the lack of on board WiFi, so if you need that make sure to get a USB WiFi radio.
