Despite new laws in the field of digitalization, the existing European legislation is totally inadequate to counterbalance the Big Tech wave from Silicon Valley. This is argued by philosopher of law Bart van der Sloot. If we take the influence in the field of politics and human and privacy rights truly seriously, a ban on American tech in Europe is crucial, according to this scholar. In addition, we must work to create a European Big Tech industry. Will such a ban succeed and what will it take to set up a European counterpart of Silicon Valley?
I did not realize you could cool data centers with renewables. Is it done cooling water down a recycling it?
most servers in the data centres use air cooling on the CPU/GPU/Drives etc, it blows cool air over the server which heats it up
You then have the HVAC systems which cool down the whole data centre
They are now moving towards a liquid cooled PC style of cooling where the cooling is built into the rack and doesn’t pull water from the mains

There is a lot of attention being paid to make sure we don’t run out of water, but unfortunately that doesn’t generate anxiety clicks
