    Default Semi-conductor shortages

    It's really getting touch out there trying to buy certain parts for some of my items. The IC for the firmware has been on back order since last year. Promised stock is end of this month. DAC wise it has been the same with parts. And without the firmware I can't sell the SEG. Catch 22 for me.

    I think everyone's in the same boat at the moment, even Apple have longer waits than usual. Good luck with getting production back up soon.

    It's a real thing, that's for sure. My company is crippled by "Chipageddon" - laptops really hard to source in the numbers we need, Monitors & Docking Stations nigh on near impossible. Hope it improves for you Stan, but sadly I suspect further disruption ahead.

    I noticed decent secondhand laptops are silly priced again.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
