• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck is out of stock in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are two tracks of thought here.

  1. The US Tariffs are raising the cost too high. So US inventory is not being restocked.

  2. The DRAM constraints are raising the cost to manufacture too high. That affects both the RAM and SSD in the system. This would affect all manufacturing of the Steam Deck.

  As for it only being the US, they’re not going to be shifting international inventory after already situating it in more local distribution centers and dealing with customs. So the question comes down to, are the international stores/distribution centers still being restocked, or is everything on hold and the US just happens to be the first to sell out?

  They probably have mitigations for many of these.

  Have you seen the state of testing for Microsoft products nowadays? Or rather the apparently complete lack of testing.

  Like basically everything, that was enshittification as well, Cable TV used to not have ads. That was a big part of the marketing compared to broadcast TV.

  I mean, Hulu was basically designed and owned by the cable companies. Not sure why that seems surprising for people.
