I was sent this. While there certainly appears to be some logic to it, at this point it may be fear-mongering which I dislike if so. "Many consumer manufacturers of electronics will go bankrupt" is not the greatest thing anyone wants to read. There are other Links to interviews within the article to YouTube and others, to attempt to validate the advance warnings, but as I mentioned, I am not sure exactly how far this may go or whether it is fear-inducing intent or not. so far each almost validates the article. I suppose we all just have to watch, wait and see. Apparently, Micron has already begun ceasing to sell to consumers. We can all research, so probably best to leave each of you to make up your own minds. I know I am being cynical, but honestly, if it was in a reputed electronics journal or every media outlet, I would be more inclined to believe it if each report was not dissimilar. Part of me almost thinks if human beings are truly stupid enough to allow this to happen, then maybe they deserve it. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/me...-ai-memory-crisis-phison-ceo-reportedly-says/
The Greek aphorism panta rhei literally means "everything flows" and describes the fact that everything is in constant motion. The world is therefore not static; everything is in a state of becoming. Things, beings, and states arise and pass away continuously. When a company goes bankrupt, the next company still operating in the market takes over its business. For example, Mercedes-Benz, a German car company, is experiencing rapid sales declines because people are no longer buying all of its models, but have opted for other brands. This naturally leads to a reaction at Mercedes: What do people want? Market analyses and ideas for new cars are being developed so that they can sell more cars in the future. If it doesn't work, Mercedes will have to close some plants and lay off employees. As a consumer, you only have two options: to buy or not to buy. As an entrepreneur, you have the opportunity to invent something, produce it, and offer it on the market. If the customer believes it has added value and has the necessary funds, they will buy the product. In short, those who don't adapt go bankrupt, and those whose products aren't in sufficient demand also go bankrupt. As you can see, it's a constant ebb and flow; the old disappears and the new emerges.
Excellent channel deep diving each week into the actual business, data and real facts around Big AI. Its paints a very interesting picture. The shortage is a real thing BUT the giant data centre projects aren't going to plan, big AI isn't making any money, won't for a long time and investment is finally starting to lose confidence. So to be optimistic YES the scum bag chip manufacturers have all ran towards AI over the last year, but they might well run back towards consumer products when the deals fall to bits. Hopefully once factory lines are back online the shortages will be over. https://www.youtube.com/@BetterOfflinePod
I hope I managed to indicate that from my side, I felt that observation for a little while might be the best idea. People tend to learn more when they observe. That said being pro-active always beats reactive, but unless the exact single source needed to be pro-active about is known and can be dealt to, where it can cease something potentially bad, that observation is possibly the only choice.
Common Sense One could also assume the worst-case scenario, following the motto: "Expect the worst and hope for the best." We don't know how things will develop in the future—wars, trade wars, tariff wars, sanctions wars, economic and financial crises, natural disasters, etc.—therefore, one should stock up on things that one currently needs or will need in the future and build up a reserve.
