So I was on holiday and I went to visit these caverns, as I went underground I noticed how cold it was and I immediately thought to myself what an awesome place to run a power hungry server or an overclocked PC! Then I asked myself what sort of overclocks can you get if you run your PC on the north pole? ridiculous I know.

 

Do you have any weird/ridiculous tech thoughts/ideas that you would like to share?

Shouldn't "condensation" be "condensate"?

Instead of darknet and having every family member buy hardware, we'll build a flock of Air-Balloon computers, that can self-sustain their altitude via the sun or other means, and mesh network. If we can get enough of them up there, we could build our own communal internet, and the balloons in international airspace wouldn't be able to be shot down without starting a war. What's more is that if we could further develop or see actual Gigabit performance on Wireless AC with multiple clients, family members would only need one central hub that does the sending/receiving to/from the Air-Balloons, and then each member would simply buy a Thin Client because all the computing would be handled high in the sky.
