    Good. This whole thing was stupid when the local government and utilities keep telling us little people to conserve water because, well we’re in a 113 degree desert with a complete lack of water due to climate change and they wanted to do this bullshit.

      Have you tried collecting the condensation off the glass? If you use that to wash your armpits you can go an extra day before you shower so Jeff Bezos can make numbers go up in his theoretical money.

      Edit: “Comical” thought. There is less than $2.5 trillion in cash circulating.

      That wouldn’t cover 20 people net worth in a country of near 350,000,000.

          Yeah, man, Bezos has tens of billions, if not hundreds! He could support the development of something that breaks the fundamental rules of physics EASILY!

            He can go develop me a liquid nitro cooling setup.

            Use so many fans he can power a wind farm

            Shove his servers up his bum

            Honesly i’m fine with any of the above

        I doubt a microchip that doesn’t need cooling, while still calculating reasonably fast, is possible.

        Computers use electricity to do math. The more electricity you have, the more math you can do. In order to do the math, the electricity is handled in a way that outputs heat. Unfortunately, the most reliable, cost effective and plentiful materials that allow electricity to do a lot of math also get heavily impacted by heat.

          modern cpus has an energy density on par with nuclear power plant cores.

          they need cooling, money cant break physics.
