Roughly 230 million more than I made in the same timeframe

They were stupid but not evil.

Nobody in the movie sought to oppress others for their own gain.

Important note: wages in Italy are VERY low. 45€/month is a significant expense.

Let’s hope the chip doesn’t disappear mysteriously like its namesake!

That’s covered in “lol”

Dox alert, cover your license plate

First of all, that’s not correct.
Second: emissions aren’t the only form of pollution.
Third: the word “shipping”, despite the name, includes air transportation;
Fourth: assuming, disingenuously of course, that the factors of the local production process are the same as the remote one, NOT shipping is always going to be more environmentally friendly.

On the one hand, fostering local production of these goods is positive for national resilience, and also has a chance to reduce shipping around the world, which is bad for the environment.

On the other hand, good fucking luck, lol.

I was always fascinated by the Middle Ages… The idea that you could live in the ruins of a civilization more advanced than your own is really interesting.

Redground

Power is a big factor. I’ve never built a specifically torrenting machine, but I’ve added torrenting containers to my virtualized NAS, and for that I’ve built a server based on an AsRock integrated board, it’s passively cooled so it’s silent and intrinsically power efficient. They’re usually limited in RAM, but I got it up to 32GB by buying verified compatible sticks.

As for building ratio, something like autobrr helps get the torrents as soon as they are announced, improving your uploads, and on trackers where it is supported, seed bonus is nice, you can keep seeding old torrents and convert the points to upload.

At the low low price of a few million brown people

I was assigned the installation of a whole industrial line for food packaging, multiple millions worth, on and off I spent like 8 months abroad forcing badly designed machines into working (I was the top tech and I resigned after this job), even ended up in the hospital, likely due to stress. Few months after I left, I go out drinking with a former colleague who had been on site with me, he says: “Well, I’m happy to inform you that, the customer hasn’t called us for months! Means everything’s working, great job!” and shook my hand.

The following morning, another former colleague sends me the screenshot of a mail from the customer saying that the business opportunities didn’t work out and they’re decommissioning the line. Literal blood, sweat and tears, completely wasted.

New functionality doesn’t just happen by mistake.

It was a rogue AI!!
