something huge going in the electronics sector | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78691169  United States02/26/2021 09:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | pre covid we could get components in 2 weeks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79842475 during covid that went to 12 weeks. since jan 21 some components have gone to 36 months! certain chips, capacitors and relays. Our company have been trying to find alternatives but we get the same result from many countries. Our company cannot survive with these delays as well as many others. I spoke with supplier in china and he said there production output is higher than ever but everything is being bought by USA Mil!? Do you think that if the OP was really an American that they would refer to the USA Mil or just the military? This person's sentence structure leads me to believe they are a foreign agent trying to deliver false information. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 80091657 United States02/26/2021 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fry Electronics suddenly closed their doors on Tuesday and said they will not be re-opening..... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72978107 [link to www.USE_FULL_LINKwww.ktvu.com (secure)] The workers at FRY's claimed they were switching suppliers because they couldn't get enough electronic stock. Interesting. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74107016 United States02/26/2021 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP here. The unavailable components suggest to us that someone is making drones in a vast quantity It is NOT the US military getting all those parts ... since the US military/industrial complex does NOT have the manufacturing capacity to use all of those parts in a short time frame. MORE LIKELY China is going on a behind the scenes Defense Buildup, probably DRONES. A MASS of tens of thousands of Drones that just kept coming and coming and coming would overwhelm Taiwan in short order since they would be unable to refuel planes without them being destroyed on the ground ... AND ... it would be hard to move equipment around with the sky filled with drones looking for targets. DRONES are the GAME CHANGER NEW WEAPON for the next war. So far there is no good DEPLOYED defense system that can stop them either. Thousands of drones are no match for satellite space based weapons with emp capabilities. One pulse broadcast from satellite weapon and all the drones come crashing down |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 80091404 United States02/26/2021 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Same with appliance replacement electronic parts. Since, Covid, I have had a dishwasher and fridge need a eletronic part. Repairmen said he had all kinds of places to get parts and he eventually gave up. I looked all over and had no luck either. Even manufacturer out of stock. I had to replace both appliances when a part for around 100 each would have fixed them. They put all these fancy computers in everything now and make them hard to easily fix and tear up easier. I'm about ready to go back to the simple appliances that lasted 20 years. |

 User ID: 13389937 United States02/26/2021 09:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Supply chains f’ed! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79021194 I notice the same with certain other retail items This. Something is so wrong. Very few times I have felt like this, but something isn’t right. Many retailers are having supply issues one year later. Petsmart had very little on shelves and completely out of all dog clippers...anything electronic. Associate said I am better to buy on Amazon as nothing is expected in. She said they received one truck last week of duplicates of things they did not need and nothing on the truck of what they needed. Even my local whole foods store has been short on fruits and vegetables which is weird. Lumber prices are very high...isn’t that going to be a huge issue for construction this year? People all worried about gender neutral potato heads and transphobic gender reveals are focused in all the wrong places right now. Then Syria. Printing trillions, but no one talking about the bubble. I can’t figure it out, but something is off and imo it isn’t about covid. "May the road rise up to meet you.... May the wind be always at your back..." |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79380926  United Kingdom02/26/2021 09:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sony has been struggling sourcing components for its newly released PS5. The excuse given was Covid was causing serious logistics problems. The real reason is Sony is struggling sourcing key components. I know this for a fact. So this begs the question where are key computer components being diverted to. |
