‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

Reply in thread

So I happen to know that these data centers are being built so fast that the substation manufacturers can't keep up with the orders for indoor substations and Google specifically has switched their choice to outdoor substations.

This means THEORETICALLY if you find some way to disperse fragments or powder of metal across the exposed conductors of outdoor substation components like circuit breakers, transformers, etc. you could cause anything from a shutdown for cleaning and maintenance to a full on arc fault that would cost them $100,000's to low millions to replace.

This is the best summary and review of Arcane. I 100% agree here. At least watch season 1, it's worth the watch and you really don't need to know anything about the lore of Legaue of Legends to appreciate it on its own merits.

Fucking hell, just go and play airsoft or paintball...

Actually don't... we don't want your types turning our rather fun games of honesty into shouting matches over what is simply just a game.

I would employ her for a median wage for 40 hours a week in a job position she's bad enough to be stressed about being cut from the work force but too good at to promote.

I know I'm a sick and twisted fuck... but at least she gets free healthcare including spouse and kids coverage, I'm not that evil.

I really want to see this as sort of a mash up of Flushed Away meets Ratatouille.

Make it a sort of Dickens-like moral about how the upper classes should help the working classes by not hoarding all the wealth and re-distribution comes without a significant loss as to affect the lifestyle of being pampered, going "hunting", eating, and lounging around in the sun; like that which a cat enjoys.

I'm going to take a wild swing here and say that's probably because there's still a load more audio controller ICs out there than for other interfaces and/or the other interfaces are more standardised on the firmware drivers. Therefore not all drivers cover all audio ICs so it's a bit of a faff to find the right one.
