  The really hilarious thing is evaporative cooling (that takes so much water) is simple penny pinching over a closed loop system. That’s all.

  …Yet Bezos and Musk are talking orbital datacenters?

  Pick a lane?

    All that evaporating water is gonna trickle down eventually. Just like the money.

      What’s going to be in the water when it gets down there?

    how’s an orbital datacenter going to cool itself?

      Because it’s cold in space, of course /s

      Imagine how good water could evaporate in space!

    Not really, no. It saves a shitload of electricity, which with current technology means not spewing as much CO~2~ in order to generate that electricity.

      See this comment: lemmy.world/post/38090104/20233592

      But the TL;DR version:

      • Launching anything into space is heinously expensive.

      • With very generous math, you’d need a radiator like a mile across to cool a space data center, but practically? Probably larger.

      • Datacenter hardware is unreliable and goes obsolete quickly, and any kind of maintenance in space is basically cost prohibitive.

      • There are other smaller yet still crippling engineering challenges, like bit flips from radiation (which gets move severe as lithography shrinks; look up Nvidia’s research on this), assembling large structures in space reliably, and extremely difficult/expensive networking.

      And most of all… Solar is dirt cheap on Earth, compared to that.

      It’s like saying “air conditioning is difficult” and proposing “I know! Let’s live under the Antarctic ice sheet!” That’s not hyperbole. It might be more practical, actually…

  Also Coca Cola has a factory in Atarot, Occupied Palestine

  Boycott Israel means boycott Coca Cola

    My girlfriend’s is Palestinian. She was born and raised there, and lived there until about ten years ago when she came to the USA. I totally get what you are saying, but even she has a Coke every once in awhile.

    You may just have the perfect Lemmy name! That is all.

  How dare you!  Think of the Investor’s Money!  Mega yachts don’t buy themselves!

  Why are making yourself “clean” when that water could be used to generate profit making?

  Any reason the background is Mr. Rogers house?

    Not the creator, but Im assuming its the same reason for kitty kat, comfortable imagery lures us in for the text to smack us with some uncomfortable (honestly scary) realities.

  But remember only you can save the environment by saving water!
