When I was a kid I hated going to the city art museum because all the humidity and temperature control devices emitted this awful high frequency noise that made me nauseated.
I can’t hear the “mosquito” pitch noise emitters used to deter teenage loitering in some cities anymore. I kept that longer than I thought I would.
I recently saw it reported that Crypto was 2% of US electric use.
That’s a whole lot of wasted processing, silicon, heat and energy.
