lime!

the big thing in terms of support is developer testability. just like with the deck, it’s basically a given that it will see significantly better support from third parties than any normal pc. it’s the same reason that “you can build a pc with the same performance as an xbox for cheaper” was always irrelevant. and considering valve isn’t selling this at a loss, the prebuilt only managing to undercut it by €40 is quite telling.

and they will support it for the lifetime of the machine, i assume?

not if they don’t have any

free hippos!

maybe we both had some local bias then, as here they are typically built on high ridges where nobody lives anyway.

most people aren’t driving 24 hours a day though.

also, that finnish experiment had only 26 self-selected participants so the same argument applies.

not that this lends any credence to the “wind turbines are harmful”-side, either; that was never what i was driving at. i pointed out that the article makes the same claims about dc’s as the paper i linked did about wind turbines.

someone else pointed out that even though the claims about their effects lack merit, *we still build them away from people". which is what i think we should do to dc’s as well, for the same reasons.

not with that attitude

centaur = brain of a man, speed of a horse. reverse centaur = brain of a horse, speed of a man.

substitute horse with ai.

yeah it’s not very good. but it’s one study of many and it was more to show that people are actually having issues with them.

interestingly the one i was next to was one of the first to use the evaporative cooling tech most of them use now. it was developed partly at my university.

that’s why i mean it’s the same thing. don’t build them near people. we know ground-transferred infrasound is bad for your health.

as for louder, idk. i worked next to a facebook dc for years, it was eerily quiet.

apparently low-frequency noise causes heart rate variations. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97107-8

the conclusion is the same for both things too: don’t build them where people live.

i’ve heard it a lot but never put much stock in it until there was actual research: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97107-8

so same thing as for wind turbines then

Edit: as in, they should not be built where people live because you can feel the vibrations and it has a measurable effect on your vascular health. i linked a paper.

this was on special k boxes in the 90s my dude

firefox was originally phoenix, which was originally the mozilla suite, which was originally netscape. the experience was there from 1999, with the same people behind it.

…four? what reality are you from?

stops airflow

i’m fine with company property having tracking, but as long as i’m doing my job i don’t see why my employer needs to know were i am. and that’s despite me preferring to work on location.

bunch of genital-related posts and now this? you got in trouble, dickle?
