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

    I’m sure the engineers who made this know. And if they didn’t, this is an article from 2018, they would have most certainly found out by now.

      Which makes you wonder why there’s no update because this is something that we’ve known about for thousands of years and still need to constantly repaint boats because the ocean doesn’t give a fuck.

        Maybe they’re able to use different materials? After all boats need to float so maybe they need to use lighter, less durable materials and have thinner walls

        These things could be made as dense and thick as needed because they explicitly need not to float
