How is Chipageddon affecting you?

<< < (344/400) > >>

MT:
Chip shortage undoubtedly affected by the actions of politics. E.g most chip factories are de facto subsidized by governments due to its immense cost.
Worldwide Geopolitics analysis that includes China and chip shortage v.s invasion of Taiwan (TSMC) etc and an Asian response to that by US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor.

Of course it is.  The world is going backwards in some ways at the moment, for many different reasons, and we just have to deal with it ...    and avoid the pitfall of simply pinning the blame on other countries / races / or whatever.

MT:
Less then 2 weeks ago Chinese workers was by locked in the Foxcon factory and later broke out. Now citizens are rely angry at government deranged Covid crap!
Note the fascist governments drone with speakers flying around telling citizens to obey! Guangzhou are part of Shenzhen Hong Kong electronics mega market and
have chip factories, some very new. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202208/1273385.shtml

SiliconWizard:
Lol. This is so much 1984 that it would be utterly funny if it wasn't real. Even the drones. In 1984, that was helicopters.

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.

The difference is some suppliers have kept SME's supplied via distributors.  Off the top of my head these have not been so bad:

Microchip
Fairchild
Xilinx (less so nowadays, perhaps post AMD)
Maxim
Linear Tech/ADI

Whereas these companies are on a "don't design in unless you have no choice" list:

TI
ST Micro
Bosch
