  • This isn’t a case of a streamer talking to a viewer through chat. This is a case of an adult private messaging with a minor in a self admittedly “inappropriate” manner. Doc might have said after the fact that he didn’t “intend” on following through with his messages, but when an adult, even jokingly, is making plans to meet up with a fan at a convention who is a minor, that’s a BIG red flag.

    Twitch had no choice but to ban him. What if they did nothing and he did end up meeting up with them? What if it turned into SA allegations and it was found out that Twitch was aware of this? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my kids talking to an adult over private messages full stop. Let alone if the content was “inappropriate”.



  • Interesting statistics on this (mind you, this is all from quick Google searches because I was curious). Data centers use about 90 billion kWh of power a year globally (which seems to include servers, cooling, and all the misc energy usage) while AC use is about 250 billion kWh per year globally.

    Of that 90 billion kWh a year, I have no clue how much of it is used on AI (and how much AI is going to increase that number in the future) but it seems like, today at least, AC usage puts a lot more stress on the power grid than data centers do.

    You also have to account for how that power is used. Data centers will use a pretty consistent amount all year long where AC usage spikes when needed hitting the grid with huge loads all at once.






  • It always ran. The owner drove it home, and when they parked it in the garage the center screen started acting wonky (they didn’t explain what that meant). All the other screens worked, and the car was drivable, but it’s a bit dangerous to drive a Tesla without the center screen since that displays everything (no dashboard screen) and is how you control everything (no physical buttons besides a few on the steering wheel). So the owner did a system reset and the screen didn’t turn back on after the estimated “two minutes”.

    The next day they called the service station, but then went back to check on the car, everything was working. Basically instead of taking 2 minutes to do a hard reset, it took over night. The service station said this was a known issue and it would sometimes take upwards of 4 hours.

    This headline is massively misleading. Hell, the article itself was massively misleading. The owner said something like “I thought it was bricked” on social media and the author just ran with it apparently.
