Imagine not using cheap commodity chips that are easily available.

Look up Zircon and Avangard.

How many Ukrainian scandals should I mention? No one is saying that the Russian military is perfect, but taking this example as a way to show that Russia is utilizing human wave attacks is stupid at best.

It's hard to understand what you're arguing about - Russian troops and chain of command showed utter incompetence at the beginning of the war, with a giant convoy being stuck and gradually destroyed at will by Ukrainians.

More precisely, I wouldn't use term "human wave". It's just Russian command don't care that much about their own casualties as they are used to thinking they have a lot of human material. And while it's true, it's a terrible way to manage a state.
