What data centers are net energy negative? Maybe if they designed the building inefficiently large and then placed solar panels on the roof... Maybe. But I haven't seen any articles or papers or evidence of such a data center. Maybe some have on premise energy generators like natural gas but they are inherently less efficient than the state/federal/municipality ran ones which operate on a larger scale and enjoy the benefits of doing such.

Had similar issues, disconnecting wifi and reconnecting it on the computer usually fixes it.

I hope so, I paid a premium for it and want the real experience!

I had a great manager a few years ago. Basically it was a manufacturing job. At the beginning of the shift(or near it) he would come by you and say something like "I need 150 devices done tonight". Near the end of the shift he would come by and ask how many devices you got done.

As long as you got done the number he asked for he didn't care. Take an extra 10 minutes on lunch? Having stomach issues and used the bathroom for 30 minutes? Take a personal phone call? Had a chat with a co-worker about how they got engaged this weekend? All perfectly acceptable, as long as you got done with the 150 devices. If a machine broke or some material ran out so you couldn't complete it? Acceptable because it was outside of your control.

That said, if you didn't get the number he wanted done but everything at your station was fine I'll describe him with 3 attributes 1. Puerto Rican 2. Ex-marine 3. Drill Sargent!

Next few days he would be on you for every thing since you showed you couldn't be trusted to do what was expected. He would check periodically that you were at your station. He would check every hour or so to make sure you were on schedule to get the required work done that day instead of just checking at end of day. This of course added extra work for him which he didn't like. Do it too often and you had a not so nice "meeting".

But... Do what was expected (almost always reasonable) and he left you alone. You didn't have to watch a clock for exact minutes. It was assumed you were an adult and could accomplish what was asked without constant monitoring, until you proved you couldn't.

In my experience you are right but I wonder how far you could take it... Like there are outlets at most seats in modern airplanes, could I bring a hot plate and make Korean BBQ on the flight?

DO NOT DO THIS! BEST CASE YOU WILL PROBABLY BE INCONVIENCED AND HARESSED, WORST CASE ARESSTED!

Makes you wonder if the Japanese "rent-a-friend" service might actually be a good idea. Ok, need a different name but...

Obviously no... It would be "metal slop"

Yeah those can work too. I've just had experience with a table being bumped, screw falls to floor, the demons under the floor steal the screw, laptop is now short a screw

Delete if self-promotion is not allowed but I am looking for capital funding for my new startup featuring Ham based boneless chicken wings...all the fun of boneless chicken wings with the added fun of ham. It will be a sensation!

*not actually looking for funding or a self-promotion...its a joke

I think that means you should stop...

Oh... I misunderstood, i thought it was a fleshlight...
