They can have the moral victory. I’m concerned about not giving them my money.

Don’t a lot of modern boards have a sort of clear coating over the components anyway? Some sort of enamel like substance?

I did the math on that a while back, and the one factor I don’t hear anyone mention is that you have to cool the liquid/oil as well.

Like, sure, a tank of oil can capture a lot of heat - you could probably max out several GPUs. But once that oil gets hot, it’s not going to take anymore heat away from the GPU, and it’s going to take a long time for a tank full of oil to cool down enough to provide proper cooling.

You’d basically have to have an additional heat pump unit transferring heat from the oil to the air if you wanted to run things long term (like crypto or whatever). So you’re basically just adding in an additional, unnecessary, very messy step.

Maybe datacenters should partner with fast food restaurant and use their waste heat to fry chicken nuggets.

I feel like that’s good general advice, but doesn’t address the question.

I’m not gonna shame people for their choices, but I guess that’s just me.

There have (especially lately) been a lot of times when it goes down.

My understanding is that Youtube has been changing the way they present or stream videos. I’m not familiar with the technical aspects, really, but Invidious is actively working on the issues.

For me, when I try to use it, it’s down maybe 10-20% if the time, but occasionally for longer stretches at once. Not a perfect solution, but another tool you can use to avoid Youtube directly

You can try invidious instances like yewtu.be

Invidious is an alternative front end for youtube that allows you to watch videos without ads or other tracking. And it’s self hostable. But the public instances work just fine - I actually have issues with YouTube stalling constantly, I assume because of my ad/script blockers. But going to yewtu.be/watch?v=(youtube video code) allows me to watch in HD with zero ads or interruptions.

Youtube does try to fight it, so it occasionally will break, but just like Ublock, Invidious has talented people on the team fighting back.

There’s also a firefox extension for auto redirect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidious-redirect-2/

I also make a mental note to not buy products that have intrusive ads. There are always alternative brands.

Also, I go out of my way to get all my gas from the one station near me that doesn’t show loud ass video ads everytime I get gas.

Is it?

I feel like people have had toddlers and dog bowls for a long time, and that people in the past have been ableto keep certain things away from water successfully. Perhaps if you have increased opportunities to get the phone wet, you should take extra precautions.

Well, meth will do that to ya

I’ve already read your whole comment. It’s not comparing apples to oranges.

I don’t think that’s true, the faces are different. One is higher than the other, different beards, slightly different head tilt, etc

Lets go back and club to death the first fish that decided to walk on land

Exactly my point - And public help forums should be indexed, and should not be on Discord.

It is not comparing apples to oranges, there are many companies that use Discord as a direct replacement for help forums or product wikis.

Good.

Discord is overused for help forums and wikis, which makes them extremely difficult to search and dependent upon third party software to be maintained. I hope this will force people away from that behaviour and back to good old fashioned messageboards that have been working just fine since at least the 80s

So lets go back in time and kill the first monkey that used a stick

What’s wrong with good old fashioned data base backed message forums? There are so many implementations available, I’m sure many are FOSS, and I’m sure there’s managed solutions as well. It’s a mature, tested, rock solid reliable technology that has existed pretty much since the inception of the internet, and can be easily incorporated into other tools and workflows - because there is 40+ years of development work with the concept.

Seriously, why?

I hear you, but what about: it actually will be used for those things?

There’s a disturbing amount of people thinking of the children
