I suspect because a lot of semiconductors are out of stock they are losing sales so have had to put up prices of in stock items to counteract that.
I buy in a lot of PIC32MX230's and they have doubled in price recently.
Luckily, my home's paid for.
Assessments have gone up though... mine was up $70,000 since last year.... wow.
In talking to neighbors and friends about things, I usually just say "well, we all know who to put the blame on, right?"
And I leave it at that. 😉
In the UK about 10 years ago, if we bough a year later then we’s have lost a bedroom from the budget (£50K increase). Now, similar houses in the neighbourhood are worth £75-100K since we bought.
@nigelwright7557 yup. I agree - they prefer to keep the shelves stocked and ramp the cost. LT3042 is a good example 0 stock now but 32K stock arriving jan but you can buy now for £6 each and wait..
The difference is the current acceleration in inflation is mostly stupidity driven by various senseless policies. Getting tired of waiting for AI 🙂
Gotta shop around.
Example:
Digikey wants 7.04$CAD for a Rubycon 450V 100µF 12000H@105°C 450BXW100MEFR18X30 https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/rubycon/450BXW100MEFR18X30/6050094
LCSC wants 2.01$CAD for the same damned part. https://lcsc.com/product-detail/Alu...eaded_Rubycon-450BXW100MEFR18X30_C365684.html
Granted, LCSC doesn't have free shipping, and you can't get it tomorrow, but you gotta be pretty desparate to pay that much extra for the convenience.

Тhanks to depression? Cause cheaper food generally makes you fat and sick, not slim.
Meat and vegetables = expensive.
Corn and potatoes = cheap.
The REAL reason why Atkins “works”.

Hard to determine from a one-word comment, but I take it that you agree with me.
It's pretty clear when talking to my friends and neighbors that they certainly do too.
But of course, our in-person discussions are not monitored or bound by rules.
I wonder how much change is due to shipping costs. Shipping on the chassis I usually get from China went from $4x dollars to $8x dollars. I don't recall the exact numbers so I used 'x', but the delta was big. This is on a $21 chassis so the overall cost went from OK to high.
We; my wife and I lean more left than right so I'm going to say we think a bit different than one another.
You guys realize that during covid, the cost to ship a container from China went up 5x+. And that was before the price of fuel skyrocketed.

Your house is not worth more, but money is worth less, so you need more of it.
If 2 years ago your its price tag was equivalent to, say, 2 tons of bread, it is still so.
Even worse, if your home cost, say, 8 years salaries to buy and today it´s, say, 9 years, it is BAD news, it means it takes more to buy a property.
Judging from the endless and annoying mails I get from those "home-buyer" outfits...
"We want to buy your home!"
They're all offering much more than I contend that my home is worth.
That's ok, I'm not selling..... this home will be my coffin whenever I croak.
And after that, the Will will give it to my beneficiaries.
You mean people eat less because of cost and then lose weight and improve health?
You might have a point 😉
