#ShowerThought It doesn't matter how slow or inefficient a processor is, if you're using it for heating.
Instead of throwing them away, we could reuse all the old computers that are now "obsolete" for modern use cases by turning them into heaters that are also useful for distributed computing. I'm thinking of projects like #boinc to help scientific research. (and no, definitely *NOT* crypto, though I wouldn't know how to stop people from doing that.)
Tangentially related: I'm baffled at how some people clearly lack some education, yet sound so sure of themselves.
I was browsing the interwebz for like minded people (ofc I wouldn't be the first to think of this), and I stumbled upon this comment:
> Using a PC as a space heater would be *very* inefficient.
I'll spare you the details, but the reasoning goes like this:
Something built to produce heat should be more efficient at heating than something that produces heat as a side-effect
Let's take another tangent from that tangent shall we?
I'm glad I know enough of physics to navigate my way in a world of misinformation.
As a general rule, always being curious, and always questioning the things you see or hear, and more importantly the things you say, helps you think critically.
Pro-nuclear opinion
For example there was a time I was against nuclear energy. Period.
Now, while I still believe nuclear waste *is a real problem*. I have learned to balance that against the more imminent problem of climate change and carbon emissions.
And to see through the lies of greener than thou renewables that also have short lifetimes and non-existent recycling solutions.
And I dismiss electric cars for bikes and trains, etc. etc.
Pro-nuclear opinion
@Naughtylus I think they have made wind turbines more recyclable, not that this helps all the turbines that are in operation.
