    sure, but the corporations involved are hardly the most competent nor forward thinking actors :p

    money can buy you expertise, ofc, but often these people have an overinflated sense of their own abilities and think their expertise with computers extends into many other fields that it does not extend to :p

      I mean let’s be real, you have to use distilled water anyways if you’re using it to cool electronics. The odds that they are buying distilled water instead of distilling it themselves are incredibly fucking low given the fact that a water distillation system costs less than a server rack and buying distilled water is fucking expensive

        they do not, they use evaporative cooling towers. i don’t think adding salt would make any difference to that either way though
