The New York Times has an interesting story:
The computer engine rooms that power the digital economy have become surprisingly energy efficient.
A new study of data centers globally found that while their computing output jumped sixfold from 2010 to 2018, their energy consumption rose only 6 percent. The scientists' findings suggest concerns that the rise of mammoth data centers would generate a surge in electricity demand and pollution have been greatly overstated.
The major force behind the improving efficiency is the shift to cloud computing. In the cloud model, businesses and individuals consume computing over the internet as services, from raw calculation and data storage to search and social networks.
There may yet be hope for data centers.

Better speed/security/poweruse vs. SJW millenial COMPLETE w/ "RELAXED BRAIN" (lmao) NOT good enough for you that I put out? Ok. Obviously CRITICAL THINKING is beyond you even when I DO IT FOR YOU to think about! So, thus, it's time to ENLIGHTEN your "relaxed brain" (lol) then:
From what I see of your kind?
Your "mantra" (fed by SOROS & his ilk either PAYING you to say it OR you being STUPID enough to fall for it, for "mo 'FEE STUFF'):
Cutting off your BALLS & "white man bad" (even though WE lend the world order & progress vs. nations that are for EONS in disarray mind you)!
Being a LOSER WELFARE SUCKING FREAK is "GOOD" in your SHEEPLE blinded by BULLSHIT eyes.
Fact: It seems "your kind" (& using this NEXT term VERY LOOSELY & sarcastically in your case lmao) "THINKS" socialism/communism is 'GOOD' as leech scum do!
(Especially having been under the "fine tutelage' of ECONOMIC GENIUS (not) "BERN" whose kind BURNS in furnaces & has been exiled from 100's of nations over the last 2 millenia due to their TALMUD's calling the rest of us GOYIM CATTLE - HOWEVER. which in YOUR CASE, they are actually correct seeing your WEAK reply as evidence thereof for me).
IT IS NOT, not @ all & how/why (in addition to seeing it FAIL even in Russia/USSR/CHINA) as it either went NEAR capitalist in both (but still w/ bents in BOTH lending to tyranny as there IS NO "soft-socialism/communism" since it inevitably DEVOLVES into dictatorship even if SLOWLY (e.g. trying to CENTRALLY price cap OR CONTROL markets? GOOD LUCK even via AI - no, capitalist MARKET FORCES do it via SUPPLY & DEMAND vs. PRICING the MARKET CAN BEAR, the best, no questions asked (or does not the USA demonstrate this the past near CENTURY alone?)):
* SIMPLE EXAMPLE(s) of WHY SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM always leads to stagnation & RUIN!
Simply by turning men into DEPENDENT ON CENTRAL GOV'T CONTROLLED whimps that are MORE POTATOES than MEN which IS what 'dependence' does, taking away INITIATIVE spurred by NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION!
CENTRAL CONTROL & MONOPOLIES FAIL in CENTRALIZED MONOPOLISTIC greed fueled single source SUPPLY CHAINS as IS evidenced by what CORONA VIRUS has done to CHINA & once inventories, especially "just in time" ones since INVENTORY CARRYING COSTS ARE AVOIDED, good SHORT-TERM THINKING (that IS the problem & how they "FOOL" you, not looking ahead vs. potential disasters etc.) BUT they hurt you in times like THIS, FAIL!
(YES, it's where WE stupidly FAILED/GOT HOODWINKED (not, it was dictated by the TRUE CONTROLLERS & their JEW BANKER SHEKELS that BUY off OR Epstein BLACKMAIL control our "politicians" who are, TRULY, the "best money, even FAKE FIAT MONEY based on GDP with NO REAL VALUE especially when you import MORE than you EXPORT, CAN REALLY BUY (or rather buy off)):
Ever have a "curved" grade in school?
EVERYONE IS A "SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE" & NOBODY FAILS + EVERYONE 'wins'... lol, yea "riiiigggghhhttt"!
(BULLSHIT, in the end in REALITY it is where EVERYONE LOSES & HERE IS WHY when this EXTENDS to actual PHYSICAL infrastructure + scientific progress AND ECONOMICS - see just above on "just in time' where the WALMARTS of the WORLD will be hurting bad, soon & yes, so will you unfortunately)!
Sure, nobody fails, but then the REAL ACHIEVERS/THINKERS/WORKERS who got an A grade get LOWERED to help the WELFARE SUCKER LAZY BASTARDS not get an F - but the real workers don't GET that A due to curve... they end up w/ a B instead.. so, what happens?
THE REAL ACHIEVERS SAY "fuck that" & THEY STOP TRYING (& they ARE the folks that RAISE THE REST OF US and OUR OVERALL STD. OF LIFE)!
They say "I won't work THAT hard ever again to HELP A CRIPPLE NOT FAIL" as WHAT'S THE POINT? The ROI is poor vs. REWARDS for labors!
THAT will drag the rest of us DOWN since the INCENTIVE to ACHIEVE + GET THE JUST REWARD FOR IT, in success in ALL FORMS is REMOVED... & it indeed does, when the real achievers STOP TRYING... inevitable stagnation & eventually DESTRUCTION.
NEXT TIME THE GRADE IS CURVED after THAT minus the GOOD PRODUCERS good efforts? EVERYONE GETS D's (in reality, total F grades).
NOT good enough?
Studies were done where 5 yr. olds made a garden. The lazy ones got to EAT JUST AS MUCH as the ones doing the work. Even 5 yr. olds were DISGUSTED & pissed...
Rightfully so in RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION!
LASTLY on "OLD"?
Sure - I probably AM a LOT OLDER than you & was doing things that are of AID to myself AND OTHERS worldwide while YOU were in diapers... age IS experience & THUS, wisdom so RESPECT YOUR ELDERS BOY!

P.S.=> Now I KNOW that CUTTING OFF YOUR BALLS & TRANNY STORY-TIME for children in school is "GOOD GROOMING" (pun intended) but you can SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASSES (which is WHERE you like it anyway but KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES & don't try POISON US with your INSANE bullshit)... apk
