But that leaves the utilities with alle the risk,

Not if you make the data center pay for it.

If a consumer wants a utility upgrade, the consumer pays all costs upfront. I know this because my neighbor works for the power company and was trying to get gas lines run to our neighborhood. The cost the power company would charge us was hundreds of thousands which even divided by the number of homes meant it would never pay off vs outlr existing cost for propane delivery.

The resources are finite whether the taxpayers pay for the construction or the corporation that needs the electric upgrade pays.

posting slop in the anti Ai community again.

I have never posted AI slop in this community before. Did you think my horrible Gimp work is AI?

I have argued that 3D gaming uses as much energy as AI because 1 hour of a high end GPU is the same watts using it local in your gaming PC or remotely. Developing games requires gigantic amounts of GPU use from the developers and testers which is the same as training AI.

Sorry. I thought I was clear in making fun of AI slop because of the misspelled (worse than misspelled) signs in the background.

He did a comparison of products ending with a recommendation. That’s a review.

I don’t know why you can’t accept that.

You don’t watch all of his videos which is why you have the wrong idea. It’s the 2024 video where he reviewed Tru Tone.

If products are compared in detail and a suggestion to buy is given, it’s a review.

It doesn’t matter what you think the channel is supposed to be. What matters is the content.

At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had.

You wrote 3 paragraphs to avoid admitting that despite my writing about his detergent video, you responded with his dishwasher video because you haven’t watched all his content!

Comparing samples with an independent lab isn’t a review? Come on. As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.

I was going to fix it but that would ruin the joke.

His dish washing video went to great lenghts to explain how something works

That’s a different video. He recently did another video of detergent and why his brand of detergent that he is selling for charity is better than pods.

His dish washing detergent video went to great lengths to create experimental comparisons to show his brand of detergent is better than pods. He has done experiments with other products too like dehumidifiers.

He is promoting a product. That product possibly has what many perceive as a severe defect (flicker). He could say it doesn’t personally bother him but still compare it to other lights in the same way he compared colors in detail. Is the flicker large or small?

I love his channel and watch every video. But that doesn’t mean I have to ignore when he misses a detail.

Careful reviewers cover all factors independent of their personal bias.

I meant ignore in the context that he said it doesn’t personally bother him.

His obsession over color quality while ignoring the flicker is very annoying.

The Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC ram I got on eBay pulls 15 watts from the wall streaming 4k video on Plex.

It didn’t have 6 bays but if I needed it I could move the guts to a bigger case

I bought a used Coffee Lake era Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC RAM to use as a NAS. It uses 15 Watts at the wall measured with a killawatt while streaming 4K with Plex.

Disabling JS is itself a very rare thing for someone to do so doing it helps fingerprint you.

I know you are asking about Synology but like the other poster suggested, build your own.

A coffee lake Xeon server like a 2224G uses shockingly little power (15 watts streaming 4k plex), has ECC ram and are available on eBay for ~$200. I bought several used Lenovo Xeon servers a couple of years ago and they have been fantastic.

This is what I got:

“Total LBAs written” refers to the total number of 512-byte sectors a device, like an SSD, has written to since it was manufactured"
