This is funny but it would be better if we weren’t all distracted by the absolute shit picture. I tend to just laugh then downvote this garbage effort whether intentional or not.

Maybe I’m just getting older but it seems like most of the memes here are getting more and more illegible.
Pixel limit. You’ve hit it.
Seriously though, this is some high quality, low quality shit.
Must have hit the pixel limit for the month.

1·2 months agoWell of course. Which is why I mentioned it making a significant impact. Full offset wouldn’t be feasible without it being as large of a scope a the data center construction itself; not even considering storage requirements.
The unfortunate likelihood of projections (currently taking shape) being well understood, and accepted, at the time is extremely high.
It’s a win-win if you’re the owner of the server farm who had closed door discussions with the power company beforehand. I mean the citizens don’t win, but when has this ever been a concern?
If it was in their best interests financially, it would be included in the financial model before construction. My guess is that it was more appealing to just cut deals with various players.
When’s the last time you looked into this?
I just went fully off grid and I have a relatively large house and workshop.
The panels I used, which are great but aren’t the absolute best on the market come out to about 231W per sq. meter.
I have a 39kW system installed just for my house. It’s overkill, yeah but I plan for the future (telling the regional power monopoly to go fuck themselves for the next 30 years).
Covering one of these centers with solar would absolutely make a huge impact. Not only by providing power during the day but also with keeping the building cooler.
For reference, the panels I have (65 of), coupled with 100kWh battery bank.

If they decline, oh well. If they agree, I happily pay for some food for them.
Some of these encounters have broke my heart, others have just reiterated what most people assume when it comes to these things.
Exactly. Almost as great of an idea as running a 1/2” hot/cold line 100+ ft to a house from… nvm, I give up, this is too stupid to even make a joke.
This place needs a bot that automatically archives every link posted because most people are still painfully unaware of these tools:
Right? And he didn’t even do a shitty crop to remove half of a word.
This place is going down hill fast.
Never ran any tests here but the difference is so stark that I never really considered it a need.
Kinda like when I switched from SoundCloud to Apple Music. I couldn’t go back to listening to the songs I had in my SC library because it was just noticeably worse.
I’m sure there are ways to rip high fi YouTube audio but the basic options I used in the past yielded results worse than avg SoundCloud quality.
Will say it’s been a few years since trying and I never had any paid for YouTube subscription, don’t even have an account. So, while it may be acceptable, I just never had a need and if I wanted to rip music, I’d be torrenting .flac files, not ripping .mp3s from YouTube
This is cool if you’re okay with low fidelity music.
After years of lossless and headphones to distinguish, this sounds like fingernails on a chalk board.
It’s akin to using a tape deck to aux adapter in an old car or recording a tape off of an old boombox radio lol. I’d rather listen to nothing.
Have you tried not purchasing a Google phone? I heard this works extremely well.
Absolutely, it only requires you to allow a Google representative to check your pulse via fingering your asshole. It is worth noting that results and feedback of this authentication method vary based on age and sexual orientation*.
Were you there or just saying you remember the last time this was posted in the past five years claiming this guy was actually dead?
Not sure where you’re finding this battery price but I’m guessing it’s much cheaper than that.
I repair just about anything. Sometimes just for the challenge. Electronics are much easier than most realize.
The one thing that causes a barrier for most is the proper tools. “Proprietary” screws are a small toolkit away from just being a regular screw…
You could give the make and model of your laptop and I could send you links to buy anything and everything you need. I’d be willing to bet that tools and parts would be substantially less than buying a new laptop.
Caveat being if it’s a budget bin low spec laptop from a non reputable brand. If it was extremely cheap and cheaply made brand new, I’ll concede your point. Will say it’s still cheaper to fix, but at a certain point it doesn’t make sense to fix something that’s borderline unusable even new (outdated). That is assuming you don’t want to install Linux lol.
Does your assessment assume that you cannot fix it yourself?
Fixing things is nearly always cheaper than buying new unless the base assumption is you cannot perform it yourself and have to rely on a third party.
Repair services are often not even available because the margins would be so low. So, to answer your question of how we got here is because of Capitalism.
Because most religious people are pretty fucking stupid when it comes to critical thinking the moment religion is involved?
