I'm 1 month in on an estimated 4 month wait for a new sectional sofa for the family room. Not so bad really... the wait is so long that I'll probably lose track of time entirely and be pleasantly surprised when it shows up.
Tell me about it, my mom's freezer went out and according the the appliance stores that when Covid started people rushed to buy freezers just like they did with toilet paper at Costco. We just got confirmation that her freezer will be shipping next week. 14 weeks of waiting.
My opinion is that it is only going to get worse. I would not be surprised if they shut the country down again soon. We are in something like week 35 of this, with no end in sight to things getting back to normal.
Without getting into politics too deep, that will very likely become the case if everything that was said during the election campaigns happens. There were a lot of promises (or threats depending upon your political leanings) to shut us down again.
Europe has had lots of lockdowns recently, and I kind of expect many of the Asian countries will do so again too. And if there are disruptions overseas, and we in USA are shutdown (even partially), things are going to be really messy for a while.
I am hopeful that at least 60% of Americans will get the flu vaccine this season. There is really good/promising data indicating some vaccines (MMR, polio, BCG) non-specifically stimulate immune cells leading to cross-protection against COVID-19. So perhaps other vaccines will do the same.
You guys should try living in Thailand where its almost impossible to buy anything IoT-related without incurring expensive shipping and import duties. It's so damned annoying that I'm going to head straight back to the beach at the bottom of my garden and have another beer in the sunshine.
Thailand is one of the places I hope to visit someday.
That sounds positively lovely right about now. Here is what I have in Michigan. Granted that isn't bad for November, but it only goes downhill from here.
I feel your pain on all 6 items listed. I made a half a$$t attempt at 4 and 5 today because I knew the outcome after also attempting 1 and 3. Literally no hope for 6 at this point...none. SMH
Like I said - my wallet is quite happy with the situation.
It is getting ridiculous, though. If it is ONLY because supply is low (COVID, other manufacturing issues) then OK.
But the plethora of these devices that are on eBay say that supply isn't the only issue... Bot driven gouge/eBay buyers are creating artificial shortages....
I started my Freezer replacement process on April 12th. I've had a Gladiator garage rated Freezer on order since then. 28 weeks so far, and no shipping date in sight!
S.
P.S. just called the vendor. Earliest I'm likely to see the Freezer is next year!
Back to the original post. My son upgraded his machine from a 1800x to the 3950x and it’s freakin awesome. Can’t even imaging a 5950x. Hope you find one.
