Do they just off gas the shit and not reclaim and recycle as much as they can? Feels like an open loop system on a dwindling resource. Fucking capitalism brain strikes again.

And yes, I understand there are complexities in even just storing gasses like hydrogen and helium.

It's because Iran bombed the Qatari LNG facilities which produces 1/3 of the world's helium.

If you were planning to buy any electronic devices soon, do it now and be satisfied with the specs for the next 2 years.

The supply chain grip is so tight right now.

This is actually a good thing for humanity imo. Hopefully it causes a panic to the AI industry.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

why do you think they forced all manufacturing to focus on AI?

ram, gfx, CPU, servers, etc ...

they knew Iran was going to be attacked. how? because it's all a grift. why? to enslave humanity.

Anybody want a balloon?

Hydrogen balloons are fun. Be sure to get some fuse to tie on them.
