Chip shortages in Japan meant I couldn't get my hands on a fucking train pass.
Americans think they have the market cornered. They're just eating their own seed corn. The Future is China.
oh shit is that why they aren't selling new Suica cards... I was wondering why they weren't available
Or Passmo. I still fucking had my Passmo cards sitting on my shelf at home and would have brought them if I'd even realized there was a shortage.
Instead, I ended up running around looking for an atm so I could buy physical tickets like a fucking tourist (which I was, but still!!!)
The IC card chip shortages have been going on for almost a year now. I wonder what kind of logistical or production issues are causing this.
Chinese chips, so anything from Peking Duck to cucumber are valid flavors.
China is going to ban a Chinese designed and produced processor using a Chinese developed instruction set?
Loongson LoongArch processors aren't designed for global export as far as I know. They're a domestic replacement for x86_64 CPUs.
