I used to live a few miles from I5 and that was loud and constant, but was a pretty soft kinda rushing sound not really that different from hearing the wind rustling trees; the sound going on in this video sounds like an idling diesel truck parked across the street.

Oh man, I hate data centers more every day. They’re burning energy and causing disturbances in order to support fucking what? What the fuck are we getting in return?

Well that was pointless. Was there supposed to be something on the “sound readings” meter? Can I see it? No.

Made without AI will be the next organic non-gmo revolution, even though the latter was mostly a fad.

It’s weird that they would build such a big annoying target in a country with so many rifles

You know I will say as an IT tech, that often times works in data centers doing repairs upgrades ads changes etc. That data centers are absolutely horrid to work in. The constant hum in drone will just wear you out. There’s absolutely no way to silence something like that. It literally gets into your bones. That’s why most data centers are not really staffed unless somebody is on site to do some work. This myth of data centers creating jobs is absolutely idiotic. I’ve never been in a data center with more than one or two employees in it. And most of those like I said aren’t full-time employees they literally show up let you in show you where you need to work and will only hang out long enough while you’re on the site. Having to wear headphones in a data center is absolutely mandatory.
