Trashiest thing you've seen or heard this week?


Came across a guy punching down on people who are poorer than him.

There's probably 10 different ways someone could hack into your life, including the thing you're typing on now. At least this one sweeps and mops my house.


I saw my sous vide has a Bluetooth option.

WTF do I need a Bluetooth sous vide for?
All for convenience. Like someone said he gave up his privacy and gets a picture sent to him of whatever the vac hit. Good trade i guess.
People lost their shite when Biden/Trump wanted to ban TikTok.

Imagine banning all electronics that can be hacked.
Those things have cameras on them? What the hell would you need a camera on a vac for?

They 100% HELPED and are continuing to help shape the process with millions in donations and kickbacks.


That is the system that was in place before they came along.

People on this site argue for ITEP every time it comes up. I don't get why they are so against it now.
Colapinto fans are unhinged.

They went after another driver as well last year. Seems someone wrecked with Colapinto and his fan base went after the other driver.

This is the problem. It just needs to be done responsibly


Yep. Data Centers didn't create this process they are just using the system in place.

The shift from industrial plants using the process to data centers has presented the riff. ITEP shifted to local levels helped for a minute with local government holding businesses responsible for employing locals. That was quickly jerked away because the state needed to dictate instead of small government.
Bloomberg, possibly purposefully, conflated wholesale prices to end user prices.

Their story admits that the wholesale prices were not passed on to customers but just leaves it at

They also didn’t specify what span they were using or how they arrived at the figure.

Bloomberg did a lot of research, but did not address specific user end bills other than publishing a quote of what one guy said. They coined the "size of Manhattan " talk which gets repeated and is far from the truth. (Meta in N La would have to cover their property edge to edge and be 8-10 stories tall to be the same square footage as manhattan).

electricity bills increase upwards of 267%


:lol:

That's not even what the article said but that hasn't slowed you down.
quote:

What percentage of all electricity will be consumed by data centers by 2030?


At the expected growth rate about 10%
quote:

maybe the hate could be mitigated if the data center owners and the public officials actually operated in transparency.


This would help. It is also part of IP and no matter what they have said it gets twisted or ignored.

And if the utilities and public officials put the rate payers interest first, things would probably be more amicable. But that never happens.


We will keep electing the same people. Like a battered spouse we just blame them while continuing to go back.

You're in every one of these threads white knighting for your tech overlords


You are in every thread spouting bad information and not recognizing facts

Basically a typical government employee


Exactly what I was thinking
People registering their hate on a message board (many message boards) that uses data centers just to exist.

:lol:

The future of NIMBY

post college or non-college version of a fraternity.


Yes. They are social clubs or societal clubs in large part. Professional connections as well as social connections.

You do know that there are more than one electric company in the state right?


:lol:

Ill just use the power from the other providers.

. All that has done was give us some of the lowest utility rates in the country. Why do yall think data centers change anything


How do industrial customers lower the rates?

Does the access to historically cheap natural gas have a larger impact on rates?
You'll need a front load garage on the northshore and a timeshare in Disney or Destin.
