Yes, it's much better ecologically to pay someone to haul that Mt. Dew bottle in a diesel-powered truck to a central depot, then ship it to Asia in a diesel-powered ship, where it'll be burned there instead.
You do have a point there!
I just cannot imagine the fire breathing spiders and lava men inside one of my PCs.
I guess that depends on which study you read and whether it fits your preferred narrative. Stopping there, IMO, is not being thorough https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.aan8677

Just sec after u wrote this, Nvidia fanboys and trolls already aligned in queue to skew and spin the news about the fancy Ada Lovelace oven.
Did you even read that study? The worst it found was this:I'm waiting for you to tell me how that study is wrong..But, hey, who am I to challenge you?
But then you could counter, and say that words in italics and in quotes, without links, doesn't show where the quote came from or the context.
You are just upset that the ice in your rum and coke melted because your computer heated your room too much.ut then you could counter, and say that words in italics and in quotes, without links, doesn't show where the quote came from or the context.
Not just rum and coke good sir, but Bacardi and Coke!You are just upset that the ice in your rum and coke melted because your computer heated your room too much.
I think review sites should use that as the new test for heat. If it ruins the drink before it's finished, the card is reviewed unfavorably.
Well, first you cite a 16-year old study and claim polar bear populations are doing fine. And now are you trying to tell us that the only indicator of the health of a population is the number of its members? And just what good does increasing numbers of polar bears do if they cannot find food?
The same would be true if it got too cold. The earth cycles. We do not have much influence as mother nature finds a way. Sure, we should do our best to take care of the environment for the generations to follow, and we've done a fantastic job of it. The problem is the toxicity of new products that are supposed to be "green". Sure they may not affect the earths temperature by .01 degree, but these chemicals will catch up to us as they build up. I still think fossil fuels are the safest over all. Modern cars burn VERY clean! The states just need to keep emission inspections going.
As I see it, others realize the problems with new products and continually work to improve them.
We will never be rid of using oil. It's in just about everything we use, every day, everywhere. We will progress because there is money to be made, and very intelligent people who have ideas. Progress will never stop. We cannot just stop what we are doing in the process. Poverty is a much bigger problem than pollution. We can't just do away with affordable technologies.
Ok, well I guess that explains why he never provides links.
And to add to that, claiming that it's ok because "it's just peak wattage" is kind of sad. How many people are NOT going to overclock and just basically try to milk the GPU for everything they can?
Oops! Do you not read posts before you reply to them? The story was from December 2021, it cited a 16-year old prediction that polar bears were rapidly declining, in order to contrast that with the reality since then.
Yes. Real-world data showing population increases trumps alarmist Chicken-Little predictions of sharp declines due to starvation.
If they were finding true difficulty finding food, populations would be declining. For details, Google the logistics curve function in mathematical biology, and the ecological carrying capacity.
Why thank you. I'm glad I inspire that level of admiration in you.
Or you could realize that the African continent has seen unprecedented famine and starvation while also going through a sharp rise in population.
It is a heater and should be used as such in GPU-as-a-service at scale
