So Apple just threw the baby out with the bathwater and killed offline web apps (unless you’re cool with all your data being deleted if you don’t use an app for a week). You’d almost think they had an App Store to promote or something.

starting to wonder how much of these shortages is actually due to individual hoarding and how much is due to the JIT trend and other computer dork based supply chain "optimization" that has left us as a society with less and less reserves of basic supplies that used to be built into the system, in warehouses and whatever
