Thanks to #AI (mainly, there are other factors involved) I have to wait weeks or maybe even a month for a couple of 2TB mechanical hard drives.

It's not a big issue for me, I needed them for my home machine (I want to move my data archive from external hard drives to a small #zfs raid accessible from NFS and DLNA) but I can wait before doing that. Yet, this leaves me pretty scared for the future: in 2008 short term financial prospects were dire but at least we had cool tech and the promise it could have helped us towards a better future. Now we have dire prospects, tech shortages and optimism in even shorter supply.
