Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

What’s the difference between recycling one piece at a time or en mass?

One hasn’t been corroded by the ocean.

The actual computer parts wouldn’t necessarily be corroded though, I would assume the hull itsself would be designed to last longer than the computer components themselves

Yes we all know that designs are always perfect and never stupid or wasteful for greenwashing and marketing.

Same for wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear energy generation then?
