Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.

    How was it incorrect? How can you transfer heat away from the electronics into another medium when there is no other medium because it’s in space?

      By that logic, every existing satellite would overheat and die.

        The processing on satellites is absolutely nothing compared to a datacenter.

          That would be a matter of scale. You’re claiming it’s flat out impossible because of a lack of medium. Different thing entirely

      Same way radiation heat works from the sun.

        The sun emites a fuck ton of mass. Satellites don’t have mass to emit.

          So how does radiation heat work in other places?

          Like this? This has no mass either really.
