What if chip shortage just became the new normal? Any alternatives?
- CoastalCoder 6y agoThat's a fantastic question! Here's my hot take: - Price increases on all products that require chips. - Right-to-repair laws make some headway, as the cost of repair becomes more competitive with the cost of replacement. - Commercial software developers shift their focus a little more towards program efficiency, at the cost of slower feature development and/or higher code complexity.

- neither_color 6y agoI hope PC game developers start thinking about optimizing for existing and last-gen hardware instead of just assuming their games will run better on next year's hardware. So many potential new PC gamers will be turned off of PC gaming forever over a short term spike in demand/profit from miners who will abandon gpus altogether as soon as theyre no longer economically viable.
