Didn't watch the video, but a thumbnail i saw was about his pool.

uplifting? its downdropping. its in the title

Portable devices like ours are WAY ahead of data centers in consumption

I'm booking my ticket now.

Yeah I'm a bit skeptical as well, maybe I just need more details. The last pool mechanical system I worked on was sized for ~300kW of heat for a simple 6 lane, 25m pool.

Here in Quebec city a large datacenter opening up will heat a hothouse full of weed, tomatoes and strawberries.

Not bad

perfect lmao

You win the internet today. Now take my dirty fucking upvote and get out of my sight

I mean, I’d much rather see the government helping our nations food supply than banks and Wall Street

Can't get them to buckle their seatbelts.

Or cows weigh more than hay idk

Heeeeyyyy!

I believe we'll see if it works come summer, it's just waiting to be hooked up.

They put them at the lower level of disaffected mines.

Well said

It's not an argument at all. Like I said. Its propaganda.

Parts of the world seeks to push them towards heating homes instead of wasting the heat/burn more energy to cool the servers. It's an uphill battle though as these big tech companies prefer a race to the bottom where they rather pay to greenwash themselves than make an actual difference. As I understand it this is a developing field to optimize and increase energy efficiency of big data centers. They can often offset their carbon footprint by providing heating to the towns they're built in, if only they're willing and it don't cost them too much...

Ah, good ole' AssOfficer. This is actually a really good question and a problem! Here's an article that I found interesting on the topic.

Those are not equivalent arguments though. They have to change because the state of California said enough is enough. It would be like cops finally doing their job, because a vigilante is making them look bad.

The second one wouldn't be possible, he would be dead if the planet is uninhabitable.

My point stands they are doing this as PR and potentially bury the news about California. Before any other states decide to make them change their policies.

Show tits, get hay.

Better late then never is a thought cancelling mentality ... it's an excuse to keep being/doing shitty things.

Imagine if the authorities said that after catching a serial killer.

Imagine the leader of the planet saying it after we've made the planet uninhabitable.

I stopped buying the "better late then never" propaganda when I realized how the 2 party voting system worked.

Why can't they just put the stranded cows in the plane?

And then whine for small government.

This is the kind of positivity I come here for! 😊

Why do you convert so loudly?

Well if the data center is in use it’s not wasted. It would be more wasteful to use more energy on AC to cool it down than to use that generated heat for something useful.
