Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Not as strange as you might think.
Intel fabs have been located in Arizona for decades. There are six fabs open currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_sites#Current_fab_sites
About water. The Colorado River provides the largest source of fresh water (that can be purified further and easier) for the Greater Phoenix Valley. They are stored in reservoirs behind large dams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_River_Project (sorry to use natopedia but these pages were short and to the point)
It's disgusting how many data centers are located in Phoenix. It's the (mostly) dry climate, and that allows better thermal and moisture control.
EDIT: Here are the locations of Data Center in the Phoenix area. 78 just in that area. https://www.datacentermap.com/usa/arizona/phoenix/
that says to me "american data centers have cheaped out on moisture control" and one good big wet storm over arizona is gonna fuck some shit up
Nah. They already know which areas get the heaviest rains during monsoon season and which areas are prone to flooding and build accordingly.
Haven't heard of one yet that went down due to rain. That might change in the future though.
The problem is that the Colorado River is drying up https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/environment/colorado-river-drying-up/
And the data centers and chip fabs are mostly the cause of the problem.
Right, that's why it seems like a bad idea to build more given the current state of things.
And yet they still do. Google was the most recent.
Phoenix Arizonans are gonna die before they revolt and take back the water.
Edited for grammar.
living in phoenix for almost decade has taught me that an overwhelming majority of phoenicians don't care; so most will never notice the lack of water and will never revolt even if they did.
same is true for austin.
