Agreed, I used to work in supply chain for a very large company and there are some items that needed a 1 year lead time. In other words, I had to order them 12 months ahead of when they would be delivered or they would not get delivered on time.
Most people don't realize how well oiled that machine was before covid, and how shutting it down completely fucked it. Yes, getting millions of pieces of tape, in the length, width, material, and adhesive you want, is probably really hard now in some cases.

In case you haven't found a replacement, we store our dog food in a container like this and it's great:

When you say that you're in their vicinity, how close are we talking? Bluetooth distance? WiFi distance? 100m? 200m? Knowing how close you're getting could help narrow down the technology that is being used.

As funny as your comment is, it has more actual information that this article.

Agreed. My kids have switches, but when I tried my friend's steam deck I was like, "Yes, this is made for adults" ... Even though it's heavier, it feels sooo much better.

Hopefully Apple brings hardware improvements to the next model, in which case they can include software improvements for older models. If the only improvements in the next model are in software, I doubt they'll make those backward compatible.

I don't blame you, but the problem is not the hardware, it's the software.
They're doing so much post processing now and they haven't quite got it figured out since they added AI to the mix. I'm not happy with the 13 Pro a lot of the time either. So, I mostly use the ProCam app now, which takes much better pictures in most cases than Apple's camera app because it's not doing all that AI bullshit.
MKB has a good video on the subject of image processing in phones and how google went through a similar phase to what Apple is in right now:

The person in charge of the supply chain likely had nothing to do with the note and is probably working very hard to find another supplier that can get them rolls of this tape that are compatible with their bottling line equipment.
From when I worked in supply chain, we had 2-3 suppliers for almost everything and even before covid there were times where all 3 couldn't meet the delivery date. For many things, there aren't more than 3 suppliers so you really don't have many other options at that point.
How quickly people will shit on other people, in a situation they know nothing about, is mind boggling.
