Keep your present vehicle well maintained.
Does this mean my 5g microwave and refrigerator will have to wait? /s
Maybe.
I have a small stock of various ARM SOCs.
Got a feeler from the supplier asking if I would perhaps
part with them, or a few.
Things must really be tough if my meager collection is coveted.
Yeah we need to turn the microwave on with our phones.
Just another planned disruption to bring down this country.
Stupido.
The term ‘Chip’ covers so much product. No one company makes a product called ‘The Chip’
Is it a silicon shortage? Is it some other raw material that is in short supply?
How dumb is our world?
This is what we get for that idiotic “Just In Time” methodology.
I’d prefer my vehicles to be ‘chipless’
Keep it simple stupid. kiss
Translation: We’re keeping the phony shortage going as long as we can to keep prices high.
Let all the chips be made outside our nation...
What could go wrong?
At least the House got two Trump impeachment votes in.
At least Mitch and Paul helped stonewall Trump’s agenda.
And so it goes...
What? A semi-sweet chip shortage?
I guess it’ll be oatmeal raisin cookies for the foreseeable future!
Oh, never mind...
I'm a retired chip maker, started in 1967 when there were no computers. Over the years my 'language' of what I do/did changed with the IQ of the population.
Today, I just say "I made computer chips", it's what people understand.
car companies cut their own throat
with useless electronic bs
Yeah, this trend of making automobiles that are easy to make but terrible to maintain only helps the manufacturers. There are some things that are better electronic versus mechanical such as ignition, fuel injection, anti-lock brakes, and remote start but the "sensors-for-everything" is ridiculous.
There's a market for someone who could reprogram old chips or make chip bypasses to fool the onboard computers.
JIT, also known as OSWO...
I just did a brake job (including rotors) and brake fluid change. Need to do a transmission service, have the parts and fluid, have been putting it off. Need to go ahead and git ‘er done in the next couple weeks.
Also need to do oil and air filter on wifey’s ride.
This is what we get for handing U.S. business over to the likes of Harvard MBAs.
This impacts not only auto manufacturers, but light and heavy manufacturing, which also rely heavily on a variety of chips to drive related equipment. Think harvesting machines or steel fabricators...
In the top ten of idiot moves by Zero, gifting chip technology and incentivizing moves of chip manufacturers to China is one of the worst.
Yeah soon most folks won’t know how to wipe their own butt without first checking for a YouTube instruction video on the procedure.
