5:05 No sadly the devs can't just change one character. Apples trick is to drop support for older XCode, iOS & Mac OS SDK versions. Developers have to first update these, then if they try to rebuild their app they will get tons of errors because Apple changed their side of the code or tools (like removing 32 bit support or enforcing Metal for graphics instead of OpenGL). Only once we rewrite our code to suit the new requirements we can rebuild and upload it to the app store. In practise this means: 1. Apple now saves costs as there will be no need to keep supporting old pesky features like OpenGL 2. App developers can now easily be forced to work for free by simply removing features or enforcing usage of new features 3. If the app developers can't afford this anymore they have to add more micro transactions or monthly fees ... and Apple will get their cut for that Edit: no -> now
This. Hope we will have such a strong component shortage to force software industry to finally make good software, with no inefficient bloat nor compatibility droppings on either direction. That might eventually result into useful software in general, which would put the advanced hardware in actual use, instead of wasting all the hardware potential advancement into the retardment of software development. About Apple, Google, and Microsoft though I have little hope. Their long-standing business policy has exhibited their #1 priority to be pissing off customers, and they are probably more willing to go bankrupt instead of bowing to do anything their customers would appreciate.
Being a long-time developer for Apple devices sounds like insane pain, especially when you wanna make your apps cross platform. Like the only viable option I see is to make web apps or something in like...Electron. I will never however get over the fact why Apple needed to develop their proprietary graphics API when Vulkan was around at the time and then make their graphics hardware in M1 ready for Vulkan but never supporting it on the software side and I don't think they ever will. Maybe the performance is bad compared to competition, who knows. Why do they need Metal so badly? It just makes stuff more complicated.

"Where was Sony?" is a very valid question. Some of the IPs sold were pretty closely associated with Playstation, and would've been great to scoop up and make exclusives for their brand (good for them, not us the consumers).
What's stopping the shortage from continuing? In different words; What's stopping the price gouging from continuing? What incentive do manufacturers have to lower prices?
Exactly. And at this point it isn't even price gouging, it's just the norm after they saw how impatient consumers are and just how much they are willing to overpay due to that impatience.
I don't think you understand why the shortage is happening in the first place. What's the incentive to lower prices? The same incentive for increasing them: total profit.
Higher sales volume increases total profit even if the individual item costs less. And you will get so many more sales if your prices are below the competitors. Usually there's a problem of price competing down to unsustainable prices, but because the supply is tricky for everyone, nobody has the means to lower prices (and being able to keep their shelves stocked).

“Shortages”… It will be fun to see all those attempts at beating Apple at the ARM game, and the fruits of that labour. The team red/team blue duopoly is about to be seriously challenged… And not just by companies focused on chip design and manufacturing exclusively, but also by device makers such as Samsung. If Apple’s and Samsung’s ability to move units is any indication, methinks x86 and its “shortage” is screwed.
As an electronics engineer - nope, it's real. We're having a really really hard time finding appropriate chips for prototypes for our scientist... Maybe CPU / GPU shortage is exaggerated but mehh wouldn't the companies earn even more if they could lower the price by 50% but sell 100% more items?
@@iCore7Gaming Nah. If I sell 10 CPUs for $800, that makes $8k If I sell 20 CPUs for $400, then that is $8k too. However, if Intel is selling "$800" CPUs for $400, then I'd wager that more than double the amount of people would buy them than if they were at $800. It's all a matter of supply and demand, if the supply is higher, then manufacturers/distributors will lower the price to outcompete their competitors. The prices will drop. But if the supply is low, then they need to increase the price so that they can cover their (non-directly related) expenses (salaries, rent, investments, maintenance). This also leads to less demand, usually, as people will go to someone else. But currently the demand is pretty high, because everyone is affected and there's not much light on the horizon. So if some manufacturer suddenly drops their prices below the competitors, they will sell truckloads and make a lot of money. More than if they artificially keep the supply low. Nobody really profits from the shortages (apart from scalpers, some dealers and people selling used cards).
I live near ASML one of the leading lithography machine builders. They're working 24/7 and got a loooot of external consultant due to engineers being in high demand.
I knew my way around tandy3000 at the age of 4 i have seen my cousins use smartphones at the age of 3 much better than my 70 year old father. kids don't need that garbage
ardiuno released a video explaining they have issues getting supply of chips for their boards till at least q2 2023..i myself have issue getting chips/parts for my own products
Big tech can just keep on saying "chip shortage" so supply will be "low" demand will be high and they can keep on increasing the prices to match. Big tech making tons more with with increased prices due to a "shortage"
but on the flip side people cannot buy when prices are high. so people buy used chips, where intel/AMD dont make any money. Or people dont buy at all. Assuming manufacturers are manipulating the market: the will only make extra profits within the first few months - 1 year time span this is the time where people/comanpies panic buy. After this period and any "shortage" is prolonged all chip makers actually lose a lot of money. Especially if they are holding back chips. Computer chips are in everything: cars, manufacturing, construction, retail, finance, everything! So if the shortage is a hoax,chip manufacturers will be sued for a hell of a lot more than they wouldve gained.
Nearly EVERY TIME I see a tweet in a news article, the story writer types in the tweet, and then I see a picture of EXACTLY what he wrote in the article. Total waste of my time. They can just say "the tweet said this" and then Elon gets nothing. I think he bought a dead horses skeleton.
I still do not understand the chip shortage. How is it possible that the pre-pandemic supply chain has not recovered 2 years into the pandemic? I think that the chip-shortage is simply due to unprecedented demand. It seems like an increase of at least a 1000%!
Well they did say they were going to build up more factories to make those chips witch probably takes more time since they have to make make more machines to make those machines that make the cpu's and considering and then they actually have to be able to mine the resources for that stuff ,so it pretty normal in my opinion that it would take a long time. You don't make a whole building with complex machinery that have to be kept at certain temperatures to work efficiently for a year and then they suffered from the shortages themselves
Intel is only claiming a shortage because they have to report earnings soon. And, as they very well should be, they are continuing to lose ground to AMD because AMD has a superior product. This is like a loop. Every quarter, Intel comes out and says "we didn't make much money because shortage, and the market is just BAD for chips right now" and then a couple days later, AMD announced THEIR earnings and is like "we grew by 195% this quarter."
Do either of you have any reference to base these "factual" opinions? Also, that 195% is obviosuly a joke, its a youtube comment section, what do you expect?
Big growth is something we always see from the "underdog" because when you're at the top there isn't much room to grow. Also, do you have ANY reputable sources to back up any of these claims? And no, tech "journalists" aren't reputable sources.

@@Aereto Kinda depends on your build. The current best price to performance CPU for gaming would be the Intel i5 12600 for $260.

My daily use PC is one of the 8th gen Intel CPUs, and it still holds up very well with new AAA games. Rarely will I dip below 114 fps at 4k, and at 1440p it’ll go up in the 200+ fps range.
Heck I'm still using a Xeon E3-1231 v3 (2014), and it has certainly been a trooper for what I've put it through after all these years. Though admittedly I'm getting to the point of needing something more powerful.
I heard this inconvenient rumour that Russia is the source for the silicon ingots used to make chips. The chip shortage could get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Electronics shortages might be the least of our worries if things keep up. Huge portions of the fertilizer market are gone now which complicates even domestic food production, nevermind imports.
I thought so too at first. But actually that's not the case- We currently have so many advancments. GaN chargers, a higher PD spec supporting 240W, Thunderbolt 4, blazing fast CPUs and GPUs Supply is a problem, yeah, and this time will probably go down in history for that but tech related products are flourishing
Hopefully Elon's idea about charging for embedded tweets takes off. Too many lazy journalists act as if Twitter is an actual representation of public opinion, hopefully this gets that to slow down
From what I've heard Twitter apparently just hemorrhages money, so finding a way to make it more profitable isn't an awful idea. And if he just wants to charge news outlets for quoting tweets, I'm fine with that.

@@andiszile First they blamed covid, then they blamed crypto, then they blamed the govt and now they are blaming the ukraine war. Honestly I would not be surprised at all if it was all artificially done.
@@itsasadbunny Entire sectors shut down or massively rolled back their production lines, supply chains being disrupted have knock on effects and take a long time to return to normal. And yes, the war is having a serious effect on chip manufacturing, they provide over 70% of the world's neon which is necessary for lithography. It's almost like the entire system was incredibly fragile and sensitive to disruption, solely relying on constant growth and consumption to exist, funny that.
So...the shortage was caused by shutdowns forcing facilities to stop producing for a while. Then it was "okay, those are back up to speed, will take a bit to catch up, but the chips are being made. just the supply chain is making it harder to get them out.". Now it's "okay, supply chain is still not great, but it's slowly moving, and all those production facilities are back up to speed...but we are going to pretend that demand has doubled so we need a ton of new facilities to get them made. yeah, that's how we can convince you that the shortage will keep going for years so we can keep prices at a premium!" There is no way the chip manufacturing vs demand had such razer thin margins that the loss of a few months of production wouldn't eventually get worked out naturally without increasing production. Some of these companies investing billions into new fabs are going to regret it once supply has caught up to the backlogged demand, and suddenly there is too many chips flooding the markets.
not how this system works. only more and more things need chips. lockdowns showed us just how dependent we are of other nations, the news is hammering on ukraine but do you have any idea the magnitude of fucked we'd be if china decided to just take taiwan? which they've been threatening to do literally since it existed. they actually refuse to acknowledge it as another country even. trust me, no one will regret new fabs
The shortage wasn't caused by shutdowns but by overwhelming demand which came together with the pandemic. Consider the fact that just in the PC hardware segments, demand rose anywhere between 30-60% depending on category. Semiconductors are used in more and more products and the demand for them increases everywhere, not just in the PC segments. And the demand has also increased pretty much everywhere. Also, the shortage was something we've known for years could happen, the writing has been on the wall for a long time. We just thought there would be more time so the need to invest into more capacity didn't feel as hot. Absolutely nobody is going to regret the extra capacity. Again, the shortage isn't caused by the production decreasing, but by the demand increasing. The thing is that in the long term, demand for semiconductors is only going to keep growing.

Clock cycles and transfers are two different things (yes, in case of DDR it's two transfers per cycle).
But the CAS Latency for example is expressed in number of cycles, not transfers. And many other things. Saying "GHz" when you actually mean "GT/s" is just stupid and creates confusion and problems down the line.

What I heard: Edge is giving a 1 gig free-sample of their VPN, but to get the real VPN you're probably going to have to pay.
@2:38 😆 at the 1GB cap/limit and also the inability to bounce the signal to another country; Microsoft seem to have no clue as to why or what people even use VPNs for in the first place.
VPNs are used for:
Securing data from companies like microsoft
Being able to get country specific content
For faster internet speed (somehow)
And to be paired with incognito mode for **fun stuff**.
And Microsoft VPN crosses every single one of these
WOW
It might make at least *some* sense on mobile but it's built into Edge...
When I use my VPN service even for something simple like an RDP session 1Gb is not lasting very long. The question is how much are M$ going to charge for the over 1Gb use. Doubt it will compete with my service, as I get a nice discount.

Honestly at this point I think these shortages are just a way to manipulate the market.
“Shortages”… It will be fun to see all those attempts at beating Apple at the ARM game, and the fruits of that labour. The team red/team blue duopoly is about to be seriously challenged… And not just by companies focused on chip design and manufacturing exclusively, but also by device makers such as Samsung. If Apple’s and Samsung’s ability to move units is any indication, methinks x86 and its “shortage” is screwed.
Yeah, sure, they are artificially increasing demand somehow. Nobody knows how, but it's probably mind control.
As an electronics engineer - nope, it's real. We're having a really really hard time finding appropriate chips for prototypes for our scientist...
Maybe CPU / GPU shortage is exaggerated but mehh
wouldn't the companies earn even more if they could lower the price by 50% but sell 100% more items?
Why would intel etc do that? They would make less money lmfao
@@iCore7Gaming Nah. If I sell 10 CPUs for $800, that makes $8k
If I sell 20 CPUs for $400, then that is $8k too.
However, if Intel is selling "$800" CPUs for $400, then I'd wager that more than double the amount of people would buy them than if they were at $800.
It's all a matter of supply and demand, if the supply is higher, then manufacturers/distributors will lower the price to outcompete their competitors. The prices will drop. But if the supply is low, then they need to increase the price so that they can cover their (non-directly related) expenses (salaries, rent, investments, maintenance). This also leads to less demand, usually, as people will go to someone else.
But currently the demand is pretty high, because everyone is affected and there's not much light on the horizon. So if some manufacturer suddenly drops their prices below the competitors, they will sell truckloads and make a lot of money.
More than if they artificially keep the supply low.
Nobody really profits from the shortages (apart from scalpers, some dealers and people selling used cards).

Watching for years, best intro yet.
ardiuno released a video explaining they have issues getting supply of chips for their boards till at least q2 2023..i myself have issue getting chips/parts for my own products
Big tech can just keep on saying "chip shortage" so supply will be "low" demand will be high and they can keep on increasing the prices to match. Big tech making tons more with with increased prices due to a "shortage"
Agenda 2030.
but on the flip side people cannot buy when prices are high. so people buy used chips, where intel/AMD dont make any money. Or people dont buy at all.
Assuming manufacturers are manipulating the market: the will only make extra profits within the first few months - 1 year time span this is the time where people/comanpies panic buy. After this period and any "shortage" is prolonged all chip makers actually lose a lot of money. Especially if they are holding back chips.
Computer chips are in everything: cars, manufacturing, construction, retail, finance, everything! So if the shortage is a hoax,chip manufacturers will be sued for a hell of a lot more than they wouldve gained.
Ah crap… I guess another year with gen4 i5 for me.
Gen 3 i7 for me.
Elon, charge to edit tweets. Just charge a dollar for every minute after five minutes to edit a tweet (up to an hour after it's been tweeted).
That’s actually a great idea
If a tweet is noteworthy enough to be embedded in a news article, it is probably also more reliable to have it as a screenshot instead.
Nearly EVERY TIME I see a tweet in a news article, the story writer types in the tweet, and then I see a picture of EXACTLY what he wrote in the article. Total waste of my time.
They can just say "the tweet said this" and then Elon gets nothing.
I think he bought a dead horses skeleton.
I still do not understand the chip shortage. How is it possible that the pre-pandemic supply chain has not recovered 2 years into the pandemic? I think that the chip-shortage is simply due to unprecedented demand. It seems like an increase of at least a 1000%!
Well they did say they were going to build up more factories to make those chips witch probably takes more time since they have to make make more machines to make those machines that make the cpu's and considering and then they actually have to be able to mine the resources for that stuff ,so it pretty normal in my opinion that it would take a long time. You don't make a whole building with complex machinery that have to be kept at certain temperatures to work efficiently for a year and then they suffered from the shortages themselves
whole cities in China are being locked down. You don't think this might have anzthing to do with that?
Intel is only claiming a shortage because they have to report earnings soon. And, as they very well should be, they are continuing to lose ground to AMD because AMD has a superior product. This is like a loop. Every quarter, Intel comes out and says "we didn't make much money because shortage, and the market is just BAD for chips right now" and then a couple days later, AMD announced THEIR earnings and is like "we grew by 195% this quarter."
factually untrue amd stock keeps falling and intel is gaining market share
oh earnings call today lets see but no way they are gonna be close to 195 maybe 15 at best lol
Do either of you have any reference to base these "factual" opinions? Also, that 195% is obviosuly a joke, its a youtube comment section, what do you expect?
Big growth is something we always see from the "underdog" because when you're at the top there isn't much room to grow.
Also, do you have ANY reputable sources to back up any of these claims? And no, tech "journalists" aren't reputable sources.
Except AMD doesn't really have a superior product, they're fairly neck and neck
0:32 Checking garage sales is actually literal. My company does industrial automation. Business is booming, but it is impossible to get parts. We have 9 - 24 month lead times for projects that would normally be done in 2 days. About 20% of the PLCs we have managed to get delivered so far this year is bought from the local used market, facebook marketplace and auctions. 2000$ parts are holding up $100k projects. Especially network cards are hit hard.
Best outro for tech news

Love you Riley. So funny. Appreciated the garage sale joke.

Lots of people are gonna learn that you don’t have to upgrade cpus every time intel or AMD comes out with new stuff
Still using a Ryzen 5 3600XT. Before that, it was an FX-8300. (It was still going strong in performance even after I retired it for the 3600XT). That FX processor might have sucked when it first came out due to how a LOT of software at the time was single-threaded only, but all those cores made it age REALLY well. I was surprised. I bet it would do fine even today.
@@arnox4554 I have a Ryzen 3 1200, with a OC to 3.8ghz. It does everything fine, plays games fine, etc. I cant complain about the performance, but better performance obviously would be nice
Not every year, but with i7 6700 and Intel being pricey as usual for less, I am going to AMD for future builds.
@@Aereto Kinda depends on your build. The current best price to performance CPU for gaming would be the Intel i5 12600 for $260.
That being said, it goes back and forth between Intel and AMD over the years. Currently in my desktops I have 3 i7 8700k’s, 1 Ryzen 9 5900, 1 Ryzen 7 3700x, and 1 Ryzen 5 3600.
My daily use PC is one of the 8th gen Intel CPUs, and it still holds up very well with new AAA games. Rarely will I dip below 114 fps at 4k, and at 1440p it’ll go up in the 200+ fps range.
Heck I'm still using a Xeon E3-1231 v3 (2014), and it has certainly been a trooper for what I've put it through after all these years. Though admittedly I'm getting to the point of needing something more powerful.
I heard this inconvenient rumour that Russia is the source for the silicon ingots used to make chips. The chip shortage could get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Doubt it, Russia doesn't even have proper chip manufacturing. And silicon is a very abundant element in the Earth so that's probably not the case.
Ixnay on the ortageshay!! We had enough problems getting things for a reasonable price as it is!!!
I still have no idea what the difference between the regular news segment and quick bits is.

@@itsasadbunny Entire sectors shut down or massively rolled back their production lines, supply chains being disrupted have knock on effects and take a long time to return to normal.
And yes, the war is having a serious effect on chip manufacturing, they provide over 70% of the world's neon which is necessary for lithography.
It's almost like the entire system was incredibly fragile and sensitive to disruption, solely relying on constant growth and consumption to exist, funny that.

The chip shortage is just starting? Nooooooo!!!
Yeah
So...the shortage was caused by shutdowns forcing facilities to stop producing for a while. Then it was "okay, those are back up to speed, will take a bit to catch up, but the chips are being made. just the supply chain is making it harder to get them out.". Now it's "okay, supply chain is still not great, but it's slowly moving, and all those production facilities are back up to speed...but we are going to pretend that demand has doubled so we need a ton of new facilities to get them made. yeah, that's how we can convince you that the shortage will keep going for years so we can keep prices at a premium!" There is no way the chip manufacturing vs demand had such razer thin margins that the loss of a few months of production wouldn't eventually get worked out naturally without increasing production. Some of these companies investing billions into new fabs are going to regret it once supply has caught up to the backlogged demand, and suddenly there is too many chips flooding the markets.
Unless china invades Taiwan. Then all bets are off.
not how this system works. only more and more things need chips. lockdowns showed us just how dependent we are of other nations, the news is hammering on ukraine but do you have any idea the magnitude of fucked we'd be if china decided to just take taiwan? which they've been threatening to do literally since it existed. they actually refuse to acknowledge it as another country even.
trust me, no one will regret new fabs
The shortage wasn't caused by shutdowns but by overwhelming demand which came together with the pandemic. Consider the fact that just in the PC hardware segments, demand rose anywhere between 30-60% depending on category. Semiconductors are used in more and more products and the demand for them increases everywhere, not just in the PC segments. And the demand has also increased pretty much everywhere.
Also, the shortage was something we've known for years could happen, the writing has been on the wall for a long time. We just thought there would be more time so the need to invest into more capacity didn't feel as hot. Absolutely nobody is going to regret the extra capacity. Again, the shortage isn't caused by the production decreasing, but by the demand increasing. The thing is that in the long term, demand for semiconductors is only going to keep growing.
