we at Amazon, Google et al will flog your data to whoever wants it
We also will supply equipment that will stop supporting when we get bored and leave them wide open to attack
We allow people to use our infrastructure to launch these attacks
We only care if they don't give us money.
Comes with a free tiny solar panel backed up by a massive diesel powered generator to put in the room, to give you that authentic greenwashing feeling whilst destroying the environment at the same time.
For the true experience, you can have a subscription model where somewhere comes and turns off your water on a regular basis

Again, another imbecile that needs an education. Let's talk about one of the songs from one of the most famous Christmas films of all time.
Yes it's jarring to hear "Happy Holidays", but there is fuck all woke about it.

"If downloading and setting up a copy of WinUAE is challenging then you probably shouldn't be buying shoes with shoelaces"
Likewise if you've never repaired washing machines, dishwashers, built your own car, completely refurbished a Victorian house, built a huge desk / TV / storage unit from pieces of wood....Or maybe be like my youngest teen daughter, who can crochet a bag in an afternoon, plays bass guitar and violin and is learning 5 languages?
What you can't do all those? After all, you just have to follow instructions, so not hard.
And of course being the genius that you are, you learnt to tie your shoe laces in less than 5 minutes, with no help at all.
"they make it off touring."
Not really. Thanks to TicketBastard fucking everything up, it's actually really hard for a band to make money touring these days.
Ho back to buying CD's and merch, it's the best thing anyone can do.

...is that a lot of YouTube tech people are trying Linux for gaming with generally OK results. The issue is mainly anti-cheat which cannot be used under Linux, which is stopping the AAA games running.
However as more and more smaller games are getting played, along with old titles that refuse to die, it could slowly increase.
Im at some point going to switch fully to Linux as the one thing holding me back, the Affinity suite, the new Afffitiy seems to be able to run with some tweaking.
...is because he's a fantastic snake oil salesmen.
Without Musk's bullshit machine, Tesla have very little to show,and the markets know this. Tesla is just a meme stock with little substance behind it. Musk know this.
Tesla making better cars, becoming more profitable and actually planning to make things that will actually sell is completely irrelevant at this point. Musk could say they are making an atomic powered time machine utilising AI and Quantum computing and the share price would still go up.
...the games industry is just an utter shit show at the moment. Run by a bunch of assholes that just want to see line go up.
They don't care about employees or players, so as the little piggies keeping shovelling in slop into their mouths, then farmer big tech will feeding you your slop.
The only way things will change is if players actually stop buying this shit.
...just seemed to have as much relevance to reality as a nuclear powered concept car.
Heat is an issue, but look they put it in a lake, so is feasible. Because a lake is thermally identical to solid rock or sand near the equator.
Politics could be an issue. No shit. Your talking about active conflict zones and / or areas riddled with massive levels of corruption.
Transport of cables could be an issue. Well I've an atomic powered truck you could invest in. I've got mock-ups in MS paint and everything. I'm going to use AI to build it.
Of course,vwe could always use the Boring Company to build a hyperloop, that's should of already built one from New York to LA by now.
"There is very little risk that these data centers will eventually not find a use, whether it is for external customers or internal workloads."
Incorrect. If they are built for AI, they are pretty much useless for other tasks. Sure, you can not use the incredibly power hungry GPUs, but that's going to be a huge waste of capex.
Microsoft: Shareholders, look everyone is loving our AI. Look at all the users. Please make line go up.
Users: How do i fucking turn this fucking bag of wankstain shit off? No fuck off, I don't need a fucking summary of my single calendar entry you fucking bag of shit. Die bitch!
@VoiceOfLies
Is your remit to pass the same shit every time?
Can't be arsed to link to yet another story about the Chinese claiming other nations spying in them, you're clearly unable to think and remember for yourself.
