Los de nVidia dicen que han inventado un sistema de refrigeración para sus procesadores de centros de datos que no consume agua ni hace ruido (al menos, no mucho). Consiste en un circuito cerrado de líquido refrigerante.
Por supuesto, esto no resuelve el consumo de electricidad (vete tú a saber, puede que hasta lo empeore), ni la brutal subida de temperatura en toda la región alrededor del centro de datos, ni el desperdicio de recursos naturales que implica estar cambiando esos procesadores cada poco, ni los problemas éticos.
Pero ya da a entender que el esfuerzo de gente como @tunubesecamirio está teniendo un efecto.

One of my radical lefty extremist positions is the belief that when we realize something is bad for people or society we should stop subsidizing that thing immediately.
Pues anda que Bilbao...

A mí no me hizo falta que me lo explicaran, fue darme una vuelta hará 20 años por Sevilla un día de agosto a las 4 de la tarde para darme cuenta de golpe hasta de porqué los mexicanos utilizan esos sombreros tan peculiares.
De pronto, era todo obvio.

Europeos diciendo que debería prohibirse trabajar a más de 30°C.
La misma peña que viene aquí en verano y quiere tener todos los servicios a pie de playa.
La misma peña que lleva poniéndonos a parir a los italianos, griegos y españoles durante décadas. #TTQR

The #SoftwareIndustry traces its origin to an announcement by #IBM on #ThisDayInHistory in 1969. Pricing & selling #software separately from #hardware allows others to produce for your platform, giving rise both to commercial competitors & to an #OpenSource/#FreeSoftwareMovement.

This isn't true - the Air India Flight 182 attack killed 329 people, mostly Canadians, while incel murderers have killed 28 Canadians.
But it's still stunning that incels - a relatively tiny group - have committed so many terror attacks in Canada. It's a violent ideology. (1/2)

Thranduil from The Lord of the Rings books. A pencil drawing which was imported into Photoshop over handmade paper, and then selectively colored. About 2004.

A pencil portrait of Pippin! Say that three times fast. I used to do a lot of Lord of the Rings subjects, both from film and book sources. Some of my earliest sales at science fiction conventions back in the 1970's were of Lord of the Rings fan art. #lotr #lordoftherings #pippin #billyboyd

The Six Swans. I started picking at this drawing when I was a teenager, set it aside and finished it some years later. I kept meaning to do a new version before I miss my chance.
Pencil.

From an original Story idea by John Reppion, alas, this project never came out. But I loved the idea. #bowman #fantasy #penandink

The Doors. Unused pinup for an official project from Z2 Comics. Pen and ink with digital color. The band decided this image put too much emphasis on Morrison, so I was asked to do another
