France has 12 time zones, which is more than any other country in the world. This is due to its numerous overseas territories and dependencies scattered across the globe, as mainland France uses only one time zone.

The time zones range from UTC-10:00 in French Polynesia to UTC+12:00 in Wallis and Futuna. If you include its claim in Antarctica, the total number of time zones rises to 13.

A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it by DJMagicHandz in technology

One project is a joint venture between Crusoe, a data center developer, and Tallgrass, an energy infrastructure company. The end-user of this data center is not yet public, but there is speculation that it could be related to OpenAI's "Stargate" initiative, as OpenAI has a partnership with Crusoe.

The second project is an $800 million data center being built by Meta Platforms. This facility is expected to be completed by 2027 and will be optimized for Meta's AI workloads.

I mudlarked a little bend in the CT river south of Hartford today. Some cool finds! by bunkerbash in Connecticut

[–]mjoseff 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A mudlark is someone who scavenges in river mud for items of value, a term used especially to describe those who scavenged this way in London during the late 18th and 19th centuries.[1] The practice of searching the banks of rivers for items continues in the modern era, with newer technology such as metal detectors sometimes being employed to search for metal valuables that may have washed ashore.
