Experts and users are weighing in on the compute shortage.

I feel this post is blind to many of the secondary side effects of this ‘shortage’. The rapid increase in prices and delivery times is having deleterious effects on all things tech – everything from phones to smart appliances and all sorts of gadgets has moved into unreachable price levels.

Causes and Solutions

Others suggest that making software more efficient could help alleviate the shortage, just like smaller cars became popular during the fuel shortage in the 70s.
