> Just open the windows and blow the cold air out and keep the inverter inside
This "just" seems to hint that you don't seem to quite be grasping the concepts and scale at hand:
- Assuming perfect efficiency and unlimited free energy, where would you even put the heat from outside?
- Since energy is neither free nor unlimited, the energy needs would be enormous+
- Since it is not perfectly efficient and the energy needs are so high, the amount of wasted energy (which is heat) would be colossal, and only make the problem worse
+ The heat causing global warming comes not from human activity but from the sun, the anthropogenic effect at play is that this energy from the sun is captured by greenhouse effect.
I've been on SFR and had IPv6 for a decade at this point (through multiple moves and on mobile). It's been absolutely reliable in every way.
One of the huge holdups for v6 deployment was the absorbtion of the then DOCSIS2-based Numericable, which required a huge migration to DOCSIS3 to even support it, as well as integration of the whole network backhaul that came with it.
The reputation _was_ justified at some point far back but they turned the ship around a long time ago and is now entirely an unjustified meme.
These past years it's been SFR (via RED) who was keeping the prices competitive, so I can't wait to see the remaining three vultures collude to raise the prices back up again /s.
> People just get pissy because Free refuses to pay for peering with Google for e.g. Youtube, and it feels slower, even more on v6.
Well when one's paying for a heavily marketed "the fastest around" 1Gbps+ connection or something, and it indeed negotiates the link at that, but one can't play a 720p video over that tube because backhaul routing sucks, one has a right to be annoyed.
Can't read the article (paywalled) so I'm basing myself on what I see

I literally just read some reports yesterday day about how AC can be a pathological solution.
It's not about the energy being green or not, it's that independently of the energy source AC is a heat pump, so it pumps heat out into the air, which makes the air inside cooler, but hotter outside; and for that, green or not, it needs to put in energy to do the work, which results in _even more heat_.
At scale a.k.a cities this creates measurable bubbles of heat (+1-2degC) around AC'd places.
As Desty Nova puts it in Gunnm (a.k.a Battle Angel Alita):
Now becomes the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
Reason that Google isn't seeing more is a) some BigCo v4 holdouts b) happy eyeballs sometimes landing on v4 because their v6 is shitty 6rd or something (e.g Free SAS)
You can absolutely set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for yourself, it's really not that hard if your difficulty reference point is self hosting email. I did it like 10 years ago and I don't think it has changed.
Self hosting is hard (which is why I just use Fastmail now), but it's not because of that.
I feel what makes it work well here is also that it's not perfectly transparent so you can still see it wave in the wind and make out it's rectangular shape.
I'd definitely take that into consideration for a digital
version.
Is it measured in Thaum? (which, as everyone surely knows by now is the amount of magic needed to create one small white pigeon or three normal-sized billiard balls)
Its future isn't over there because it moves in that direction, instead it moves in that direction because its future lies over there.
