To my mind, Juicero is iconic of the problem. It was a solution to a problem that didn't exist, but bunging on "With the Internet" somehow made it a darling. It's a pretty old trick; sprinkling some talismanic phrase over whatever nonsense it is you're flogging. I wonder to what extent the chip issue will resolve itself as we realise that not everything has to be IoT. I'm probably being overly cynical on this, though. There's still a lot of genuine uses for chips. I guess the trick is to wait for a year or two, THEN invest in new tech IPOs. We need a bit of time for the crap to be flushed from the system. Do that, and there's probably a fortune to be made, as the tech that will IPO'd is likely to be of much higher quality. I missed a real trick in not buying Google, for example. When did that float? 2002, or thereabouts. The markets were in real value territory the, so it was a good time to invest. I figured that Google were just being flashy, but I was too cynical at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20 though. Dunno, maybe they'll be someone out there doing something interesting with RISC-V that has a potential to exploit some niche market. It doesn't have to be "Web 3.0".
