It seems that last category do have better luck than "the rest of
us". My employer makes a black box that's designed into some
semiconductor tool or other. We haven't been able to build said boxes
for some time because we can't get FPGAs and Ethernet switch chips.

Our customer (who makes semiconductor tools) asked which parts we
neeed to build more black boxes. A week later they informed us that
5000 of the FPGAs had been shipped to us, and they were about to have
a chat with the manufacturer of the Ethernet switch chips. [I haven't
heard the results of that chat.]
