Topic 1: An Update Discussion on All Things Supply Chain–Is it getting any better?<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/07\/23\/chip-shortage-detroit-manufacturing\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Ongoing supply chain issues \/ chip shortages have caused persistent delays in the auto industry \u2026 among other impacts. The question after 2 \u00bd years of disruption is whether the IT supply chain is any more healthy and whether industries have learned to adapt to the new levels of uncertainty and supply.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/protocol\/why-your-supply-chain-is-breaking?e=d30f866e34<\/a><\/p>\n

Modernizing the supply chain is an existential priority for our customers \u2026 and for our own businesses. If we can\u2019t trust the availability of products or forecast the timing of shipments, how can we maintain credibility with our customers? Also \u2026 this would be a terrific business opportunity for a systems-thinking solution provider. Sounds like a new focus area for MSPs!<\/p>\n

https:\/\/seths.blog\/2022\/07\/embracing-constraints-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the IT channel to re-think how we design systems and solutions for our customers: if the chip supply isn\u2019t getting any better, simply re-selling the latest vendor product isn\u2019t going to solve your customers\u2019 needs any time soon. So what are you going to do about it?<\/p>\n

Topic 2: Bill to Boost Domestic Semi-conductor Production<\/p>\n

Recently, the senate voted on a bill that would increase domestic semiconductor production–the goal being to strengthen the American economy and to possible out-compete China. <\/p>\n

We hope to proceed successfully! …And hopefully with caution. <\/p>\n

Topic 3: TECH JOURNALISM\u2019S ACCESSIBILITY PROBLEM<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone, that is, except accessibility-minded writers like Steven Aquino. Aquino, who is disabled, finds laptop keyboards difficult to use, due both to the fine motor skills required to perform the shortcuts and to the cognitive load required to remember them. The touch bar allows him to access in one tap features that would otherwise require multiple \u2014 everything from sending emails to selecting emojis.\u201d<\/p>\n
