Drone strikes halt a third of the world's helium supply, threatening chip production

At the center of the issue is the precision gas vital to chip manufacturing and cryogenics. Helium cools silicon wafers during fabrication, maintaining the extremely low temperatures...

Hey... you know all those "things made with silicon chips" that no one can afford to buy because the tech bros bought up all of them for the next two years?

Well now we're going to be making even less of them

- It's almost like this happens every time a big military country decides to start a war
