Now would be an excellent time to be a bootlegger. I could make a fortune bootlegging chips to the Rooskies.

This isn’t about chips. This is about every cloud provider shutting down routes to Russian address spaces. Everything we rely upon in modern technology requires a server on the backend. When all of those endpoints suddenly stop responding, you’re plunging the system into the dark ages.

Chips are a very small part of what constitutes a server, farm, datacenter, etc.

Don’t think for a split second that this doesn’t happen.

And just where would those chips come from? There has been a shortage around the world for well over a year. Russia is not in any worse shape then we are. In fact, they have something we don't. Their own manufacturing capabilities.
