Finding Components to purchase

It may seem funny to you but is a reasonable question. I'm an old timer too and know the history of Altera and their fab. I NEVER had this problem when Altera was "getting by" with TSMC as their foundry. I get it that there are supply chain issues but I am getting zero support from Intel for Altera devices. If their first tier distributors won't even accept orders for devices, I begin to question the business model. And try to reach someone online or via phone. How do you design a product when you cannot secure a supply line. Intel is blowing it big time for new design wins in my opinion. At this rate, they might as well shut the fab line down.

Have a great day!
