На рынке удивительная ситуация с этим кризисом чипов: у людей есть деньги и желание купить товар, а у компаний есть производство и желание продать. Но товар не могут сделать и поставить. Кстати, что странно, компании даже в условиях дефицита не повышают официальную цену, хотя именно так капитализм должен был бы в норме решать эту проблему. В итоге, мы получаем паразитическую сторону капитализма — появляются перекупщики, которые делают наценку 50-100% и даже более.
С автомобилями (да, новые автомобили тоже внезапно в кризисе) такая перепродажа, вероятно, не очень прокатывает. Но приставки и видеокарты попали под ситуацию очень заметно. В идеале и производителям и легальным магазинам нужно продать товар по возможности сразу целевому пользователю. Как это сделать? Магазины в России в конце прошлого года попробовали анализировать аккаунты покупателей и вручную звонить людям, попавшим под некий профиль (например, если человек купил много геймерских товаров), предлагая им PlayStation 5. Кажется, сработало это не очень хорошо. Во-первых, многие, кто очень хочет, так и остались без приставки. Люди буквально днями и неделями мониторят все возможные сайты в надежде поймать заветную «плойку». Иногда удается, но чаще нет. Во-вторых, магазины всё равно попадают на тех, кто в итоге продаст товар с наценкой. Например, два разных магазина могут продать одному и тому же человеку. Или — так было в моём случае — магазин предложил мне только дисковую версию, я её купил и продал ровно так, чтобы компенсировать наценку на бездисковую, которую на самом деле хотел. Впрочем, я купил бездисковую не у таких потерявших берега перекупщиков, какие обитают в России, а за границей, и наценка была небольшая относительно состояния рынка.
И вот здесь привязка устройств к человеку по каким-нибудь идентификационным данным на самом деле могла бы сыграть в плюс. В магазине, кстати, приставку продали только при личной явке и только при предъявлении паспорта, и это после их же звонка с предложением. Но можно пойти дальше: прямо при покупке привязывать аккаунт к конкретной персоне, и так, чтобы его нельзя было отвязать, например, в течение года. Это конечно упрощённая и идеализированная модель, но суть ясна: сделать скорую перепродажу невыгодной или даже невозможной.
Год назад казалось, что через год то уж точно приставки для всех будут. Я поэтому тогда и не купил. А в действительности через год стало только сложнее достать. Посмотрим, что будет ещё через год.

"Yorkka sayohat qanchaga tushdi?"
Uzr, sal kechikkan post. Xullas, yakuniy hisob-kitoblar qilib ko'ramiz.
1. Transport - Lesterdan Yorkka (borib-qaytish)— £32.50
UK ichkarisida harakatlanish men o'ylagandan ancha qimmat ekan. Mana bu yerda yozgandim. Menda rent car yo'q, shu uchun eng arzon transport avtobusdan foydalandim.
2. York ichida harakatlanish — £0
Shahar ancha kompakt va piyoda yurishga moslashgan. Bu tarafi menga juda yoqdi. Shuning uchun hech qanday transportga hojat yo'q. Albatta, siz daryoda suzgingiz kelib qolmasa.
3. York Minsterga kirish —£16 studentlar uchun + £6 Towerga chiqish
Cathedralga kirish pullik ekan. Boshida kirmoqchi emasdim, ammo shuncha joyga kelib ichiga kirmay ketish ham xato bo'lardi. Studentlarga chegirma bor ekan, buning ustiga. Mana shu joyi yoqdi UKning. Studentlarga juda ko'p joyda zo'r sale bo'ladi. Topshiringlar! Towerga chiqish ixtiyoriy. Men ungayam oshiqcha pul to'ladim va bu uchun oyoqlarim meni 2 kun qarg'adi:)
4. Taomlanish
Nonushta - £3.85 va tushlik - £20.50
Ovqat mutlaqo o'zizga bog'liq, uydan sendvich qilib kelsangiz ham bo'ladi:) Nega bunaqa deyapman. To'g'risi, diniy tomonlarga o'tmoqchi emasmanu, kimga qanaqa lekin men halol ovqatlarni afzal ko'raman. Bu yerda halol ovqatlar optioni ko'p emas, lekin yo'g'ammas. Street foodlarda bor, restoranlarda bor. Narxlari lekin salgina qimmatroqdek, balki menga shunday tuyular. Tushlik uchun 20 funt bu o'rtacha narx, undan arzoni ham tepasi ham bor.
— Muzeylar
Ularga kirmadim to'g'risi, narxlari £15-20 atrofida. Studentman axir.
— Suvenirlar
Bu yerda Harry Potter filmidagi Diagon Alley joylashgan. Juda mashhur joy. O'sha yerdan suvenir olmoqchi edim, keyin 2 kun och qolarkanman. Ularni narxi ham £20-25 funtlar atrofida.
— Ko'zda tutilmagan boshqa xarajatlar - £12
Tekin joylar - barcha parklar, York Mediaval Walls (devorda yurasiz), Yorkning eski qismi
Demak, jami: £90.85 (so'mda tahminan 1mln 450ming)
To'g'risi, UK uchun yaxshi narx. Ha, lekin bundan yana £10-15 funtni olib tashlasayam bo'lardi, shunchaki men hali bu joylarni yaxshi bilmaganim, tayyorgarligim bo'lmagani pand berdi. Ammo shundan yaxshi tajriba to'pladim.
Shunaqa gaplar.

💸🛍 American companies are raising prices again, Levi Strauss, McCormick, Columbia Sportswear and other manufacturers have reported price changes, the Wall Street Journal writes.
Popular brands of clothing, electronics, and household goods are reviewing price tags. Economists note that the January increases were generally higher than usual. In some cases, the increase was almost 10 percent. This is the sharpest jump in the cost of goods in the last 12 years. Companies attribute the increase to tariffs, the need to pay higher salaries, and expensive medical insurance. It is predicted that more than half of small business owners will raise prices even more in the coming months.

Prices consumers pay for a variety of goods and services moved higher than expected in August while jobless claims accelerated, providing challenging economic signals for the Federal Reserve before its meeting next week.
The consumer price index posted a seasonally adjusted 0.4% increase for the month, the biggest gain since January, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.9%, up 0.2 percentage point from the prior month and the highest reading since January. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for respective readings of 0.3% and 2.9%.
For the vital core reading that excludes food and energy, the August gain was 0.3%, putting the 12-month figure at 3.1%, both as forecast. Fed officials consider core to be a better gauge of long-run trends. The central bank’s inflation target is 2%.

The average price of gasoline in the United States exceeded $4 per gallon for the first time since August 2022. Just a month ago, it was $2.98. ⛽️📈
California remains the most expensive state. Prices there have risen to $5.89, and in the cities of San Rafael and Santa Rosa, they have exceeded $6. In Oklahoma, where fuel remains the cheapest in the country, the price has increased by 81 cents in a month.
Experts predict an increase in prices. According to Rapidan Energy Group, gasoline could rise to $4.50 to $5 per gallon. They do not expect a decrease until summer and attribute it to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of the world's oil. ⚠️

Car Wash Prices Surge in Tuapse After "Oil Rains"
Following contamination by oil-laden rain, demand for car washes in Tuapse has soared. Vehicles became coated with tough-to-remove resin, requiring special cleaning products. While washes previously cost about 1,000 rubles, prices have now risen to 2,000–3,000 rubles. Owners cite higher expenses for professional shampoos and extra treatments. Is this price hike justified?

The main news of Russia and the world ishere.
In Los Angeles, people with annual incomes below $ 84,000 were recognized as poor
In California, even a six-figure salary no longer guarantees well-being. According to the state Housing Department, in Los Angeles, a single person with an income below $84,850 per year is now classified as low-paid. For a family of three, the threshold is set at $109,050.
The reason is the extremely high costs of housing and living in general. Over the past 12 years, about 200,000 apartments with rents of less than $1,000 have disappeared in Los Angeles, and the average house price in the region exceeds $1 million. A similar situation is observed in the counties of San Diego, Orange and Santa Barbara, where the "low income" border has grown to $ 92-98 thousand per year.
American financial analysts note that the amount of $100,000, which was previously considered a symbol of success, no longer covers basic expenses in many major US cities. In 25 of the country's 100 largest agglomerations, this income level is not enough even to meet basic needs.

Whale Data Not Predictive for Traders
Analysts from Presto Research analyzed on-chain whale data and found it doesn't reliably predict trading signals. Although platforms like Whale Alert are popular, major coin price changes often follow large transfers. Their conclusion: while whale deposits lack predictive power, on-chain data remains valuable for blockchain analysis and tracing illicit funds. More details: Forklog News.
