Okay... The #chipshortage may have had an unexpected #consequence of majorly #inflating the #usedcar #market https://www.axios.com/used-car-market-pr.. It's apparently to the point where a #secondhand #car can be as #expensive as a new one!
Very cool idea to #upcycle an old #ereader to be a #display for a #typewriter like #device https://github.com/olup/kobowriter I suspect in the coming year we will see more and more of these #upcycle #hacks whilst the #chipshortage rages...
#apple being hit by the #chipshortage - and they were sending out #rumours that it was done with now: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technol.. So much for it being over... #pine have done pretty well to keep #shipping their #hardware !
#aardvark is still on point - we are 100% being #pricegouged by #companies https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0902.s.. The #global #chipshortage is the same problem as local #supermarkets - people are #panic #buying and artificially raising #demand ... For mean it means #steak and #broccoli #supplies are getting out of control.

Looks like the #chipshortage is still ongoing... #tsmc are raising their prices by 20% almost effective immediately! https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Se.. Not looking good...

Great point, the new #windows 11 #os is likely to create a large #ewaste #crisis in the middle of a #chipshortage https://hackaday.com/2021/06/29/the-grea.. #microsoft couldn't have picked a *worse* time to cause such a situation.
Currently installing the latest #infinitime firmware version 1.2.0: https://github.com/JF002/InfiniTime/rele.. Seems like the #pinetime will start supporting more than one hardware revision due to the #chipshortage that is ongoing.
In the middle of an absolutely crippled #economy - massive #inflation - global #chipshortage - the thing the #us wants to do is add an *additional* 25% tax credit on investments into #semiconductor #manufacturing - are they fucking insane? https://www.reuters.com/article/ctech-us.. Weird.
Looks like during the #chipshortage we're also going to have a #fake problem: https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-global.. Bare in mind it has been a pretty difficult problem even before, but now the shortage incentivizes cheap chips to fill the market. Things are about to get very bad.
