I hate when my husband is right.

The chip shortage card gets played a lot. You know they never say when they ordered or if they were willing to pay the price. Server hardware is out there for purchase. For all we know SE was offered new hardware at the new 2021 prices and laughed it off. Or they didn't decide to order any till July or even later. You don't get a pass when you don't share all the info.

Actually, they did say they'd be willing to pay the current market prices, but the equipment they needed simply was not available. This isn't a Dell server they can order off a website, it's high end data center equipment, and there's a wait list for the highest end stuff.

Two things A) don't believe everything they tell you, they don't answer to the players(and they have lied before), they answer to the stock holders when it comes to money B) when did they initiate the order process, the factories are running at 100% when they prefer not to. TSMC and others are still max producing and also see they plan to increase prices by another 20% (/sad).

This is stuff they've told stockholders. It's pretty illegal to lie to stockholders.
