The average lead time for semiconductors now exceeds six months. theregister.com/2022/04/14/semiconductor_lead_timesWhich is double what it was in 2020 and not the most advanced chips with billions of transistors that fare the worst, but much simpler analog devices. Some computer models and Thunderbolt docks no longer come with headphone jacks because they can't get the fifty-cent chip to drive the analog audio output on a $300 device.I suggest you guys read up on the bronze age collapse caused by disruption to tin supply in the eastern Mediterranean. This is starting to resemble that

@Aether even in these conditions, Australia's one semiconductor manufacturer can't turn a profit. We're a complete joke.

@Aether >Some computer models and Thunderbolt docks no longer come with headphone jacks because they can't get the fifty-cent chip to drive the analog audio output on a $300 device.I always assumed they did this on the iPhones so they could create a problem and sell you a solution in some really expensive shitty bluetooth pods. but that might have just been opportunism in hindsight.

@Vsolid Ford are literally now selling cars with the bare minimum of chips and will put the full chips in at first service, maybe, they promise techtimes.com/articles/272936/20220313/ford-sell-vehicles-without-chips-global-chip-shortage-continue.htm

@Aether Toyota wants us to pay a subscription to turn the fucking car on. I can 100% promise you that the japanese execs did not think of that but the Jews Americans did. @Vsolid

@Aether @Vsolid https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/12/22831105/toyota-subscription-remote-start-key-fob https://www.thedrive.com/tech/43636/toyota-reviewing-key-fob-remote-start-subscription-plan-after-massive-blowbackNo I’m not joking, that was an actual idea, and within a few days after announcement they rolled it back because everyone hated it.

@barasaint @Vsolid The switch to lease only model isn't surprising to be honest. The amount of cars leased rather than purchased is increasing. Car companies are trying to cut the bank out as a middle man in this regard. edmunds.com/industry-center/analysis/autoeconomy-trends-leasing-goes-mainstream.htmlGiven car loans now average 7 years by the end of the loan you are trading in for next loan anyway

@Aether The silver lining is less new stuff to consume and less FOMOTo be honest I like the fact the world is winding down regarding new products and tech, a lot of it sucks anyway
