 Those talk about the AU but I believe the PU was also tight. Remember
covid? Climate problems in Texas?  The CF in Ukraine disrupting the neon
supply?
 Reading between the lines there is also validation of the wisdom of not
using a chip in your design that is used in the automotive industry.
They'll suck the well dry.
 

   Well, I recently bought a 5-pack of those chips
   from Amazon for about $1.25 each ... so I don't
   see any 'shortage'.
   The global situation can, and will, cause various
   kinds of chip issues over the next 5 years. If
   China blockades Taiwan soon, before much in the
   way of Euro/US chip factories can get on line
   then it'll be BAD. The factories that do exist
   will be mostly directed to produce 'defense'
   items, not consumer goods.
   Oh, one another note, have had issues with that N150
   BeeLink and MX. Tried to clone the old box, seemed
   to go OK, but after installing the thing would hang
   up at a terminal login-in prompt for no good reason.
   Tried to install from a native MX Live and same effect.
   Fedora live WOULD boot and autologin to GUI like I
   wanted ... so the issue is MX. Got an ISO of the
   MX-AHS ... supposedly better support for 'new'
   hardware, a slightly newer kernel too. I'll try
   that soon. Alt would be to try Mint instead.
   I'd rather stick to the DebiVerse since I know
   its tricks better.
