M7.4 earthquake just off the east coast of Taiwan. This has caused some TSMC fabs to be, at least temporarily, shut down. SoC chips for Pis are fabbed by TSMC. Depending on overall supply, the number and nature of fabs affected, and how long the disruptions last, this could--at least in theory--affect the availability of Pis and perhaps impact product releases (e.g. Pi500, CM5).
