How is Chipageddon affecting you?
MT:
Speaking of Pooh bears, stooges, thugs, and eternal presidents and wannabe emperors Xi is now suddenly ramping up stuff militarily and Covidarely. What is Xi spin master planning now!?
SiliconWizard:
Dunno. He is planning chaos? If so, he's clearly not the only one.

Too much politics...We should go back to chips..
Thing that is annoying to me is that ST sends me all these mails new this and new that but cannot deliver basic stuff..
Yeah I know how things work but still annoying...

It is unlikely to be a case of cannot, it is a case of will not. According to a trusted insider, the big manufacturers chose to send them to their big customers rather than to the likes of you or me. Since 2020 I have been getting heaps of advertising emails from ST, TI and MCP about chips they won't supply. All are now sent to junk email as spam. I got a personal email from the TI rep in Singapore today about helping me with supply of chips using the TI API... I did not answer it but deleted it. I don't care. I have given up on TI as a trusted supplier.

If you block out vendors one by one as they give you a bad experience you'll end up with nobody to buy from at all. Not every vendor has been a good supplier at one time, but EVERY vendor who has been around for a while has been through a period when they are a nightmare to work with.
