Post Ww2 US has made sure supply lines for advanced products has been relatively safe and secure, but only barely. This war with Iran has shown that we no longer live under that security blanket.
Population decline across the world will decimate economies of several countries, the worst being China. Once China falls, and its already started, and they grasp out at then biggest corner they have that continues to export (Taiwan) we won’t have anyone that can make CPUs/gpus at scale.
It’s why the US has tried to get cpu manufacturing within the US. But they can’t because it’s very hard. It’s also still dependent on source materials that only exist in China and in other parts of the world.
The Ukraine and Iran wars have also shown that’s it’s very cheap to blow shit up. Autonomous drones are in the thousands of dollars to make each while the defensive measures are in the hundreds of thousands per shot.
Once china’s working population can’t support their retired population things are going to get ugly. Someone will make a move on Taiwan or some other upstream supply chain widget and suddenly people will be digging out their old computers from the garage.
Broadcom told ATT to pay up or fuck off. I’m seriously surprised. Broadcom has done more for all other virtualization platforms than anyone else in history.
Proxmox usage alone exploded nearly overnight. Nutanix has been printing money.
Pretty typical of a new pool to bloom algae when filled. You have to dump a bunch of chlorine or bromine in to prevent it. A competent company that does large pool/ponds would have a plan to deal with it.
Agreed, but i would think it’s mostly an upfront cost. Datacenters have massive footprints, the roofs could be covered with heat exchangers, also covered with solar panels. It just takes some regulation to encourage it.
If you want to get really into it, you could figure out a way to reclaim all that heat energy.
Those people know how the platform works. The image gets displayed prominently while a text post gets buried.
