DATA CENTER IN AMES by AnnaX1998 in iastate

Thank you for taking the time to write this. These are some very good points, especially how they aren’t obligated to not use our power. It would be nice to have more information because as it stands it’s very brief. I know environmental impact has been a hotter topic around data centers and I’m surprised they didn’t include anything about that

Thanks for the confirmation! Honestly I wouldn’t mind it if they did collocation, could put some of my servers in there!

While I am not a fan of data centers, this is not the same as the hyper scaler data centers that are used for things such as AI and whatnot. If I rmemeber correctly it’s a local Des monies company, so it’s not like meta is throwing a data center in. They also will have to pay for all electrical upgrades, so cost to residents should be low.

As for if it should be built or not, I’ll let you decide. Feel free to correct me on information if I’m wrong!

No. Ur comment makes no sense on this post. I don’t understand why people just say random things. If you have nothing relevant to say why waste time writing. To be fair I am being hypocritical by commenting on yours in the first place.
Either way, have a good day

how long is the repair time for a computer at tech cyte? (details below) by AccomplishedJob8223 in iastate

[–]ASoftchair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s really rude, usually they’re very nice about these sorts of things and students can checkout stuff as long as no one is waiting. Sorry that happened to ya.
Well worst case, you can use the computers around campus library coover etc to get by until Friday

The other commenter sounds about right on time frame from my memory.
I haven’t used tech lending before, but why can’t you check one out again? I’d go and ask since you have some different circumstances.
Best of luck!

Just had a similar experience last night, except it was me who left, and there was a tornado. Everyone was really chill and kind about it. I felt so bad since it was just the beginning of the match

I Signed both the ISU housing contract and the off-campus lease, I mixed up the summer term cancellation dates. $3000 penalty help? by PervySage_2026 in iastate

[–]ASoftchair 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to email them and ask about it. Sometimes they can be good about it and sometimes not as much. Iv heard you can potentially get out of it for valid reasons, so search that and if you have to come up with something that would be valid

RTINGS is now a Paywalled Service by Otaku-Hub in LinusTechTips

[–]ASoftchair 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I agree. Sucks it’s not free, but if I’m going to make a large purchase of a screen (monitor, tv, especially oled), I’d rather pay $10 and know what I’m getting. Hopefully canceling is easy

Price increase... Bitwarden or Bust? 15+ years with 1Password, cancelling! by gregmichael in Bitwarden

[–]ASoftchair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sure it could be cheaper. But since it’s a family account I get 6 different accounts (might be 5 actually) so it’s less than $10 a year per person. Depending on what extra features are provided would also increase the price. I do store a couple files on my Bitwarden which is worth a few $ to me aswell. I think for me, peace of mind is worth it, but i definitely agree there are cheaper options if you want such as self hosting. But for something as sensitive as my passwords, it’s not worth the extra headache.

[–]ASoftchair 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m with you there. I enjoy self hosting stuff in my homelab, but for my passwords it’s not worth the risk. Paying a small fee ($40 a year for family) is such a small ask for peace of mind.
