I suppose it was inevitable, but it's a sad day for #retrocomputing projects needing 5V parallel flash memory in DIP packages.
#DigiKey indicates EOL for these #Microchip parts, with lifetime buy date of 2026-07-01:
SST39SF010A-70-4C-PHE (1 Mibit, 128 Kibyte)
SST39SF020-70-4C-PHE (2 Mibit, 256 Kibyte) SST39SF040-70-4C-PHE (4 Mibit, 512 Kibyte)
I haven't checked whether the 3.3V or non-DIP package variants are also EOL.

With Part-DB 2.8 you can now create parts directly from barcodes.
If you order parts from #digikey, #mouser, #lcsc or Amazon, and they don't exist in your database yet, you can just scan the distributor barcode, and Part-DB will fetch all relevant Infos like descriptions, parameters, data sheets, prices, etc. from the distributor, and offer to create a new part based on that.

#digikey now has their own house brand, "Digikey Standard". Smells a lot like [...]mazon Basic and I don't think I approve.
Edit: I have no idea how old it is, I only just noticed it because there was an ad on hackaday.
I'm still trying to get an explanation from Digi-Key for an order I placed in November.
Though I paid for expedited shipping, they sat on it for about a week before shipping.
Yesterday I got email from them, but it included only an attachment that added to the mystery.
"The start of December means that DigiKey has kicked off its annual DigiWish Giveaway. It offers entrants an online chance to win product prizes each day of the Christmas season."
