    Just to give a perspective on power use. Apple's former quartz foundry in AZ was adjacent to 2 dedicated switching power substations w/ a 3rd larger one just down the street. The building is about the size of any Amazon Fulfillment Center and the new Apple "World" Datacenter is now occupying a 3rd of that space. The 69KV transmission feeds for the substations were at both ends bringing transformer voltage to a dozen 4.4KA switching terminals outputting 440V. There's probably provisioning for +5MW if they wanted and more to spare. Siting a supercomputer (no junkers) would take more than LTT could possibly handle. We haven't even covered the cooling infrastructure, let alone the cabling and custom written OS software libraries. 😰

    I had a friend who was a technician working on mainframe computers and smaller. He knew that some of them had connections and wires made of gold and would pick these up cheap, pull out all the gold and then recycle the metal parts and trash the rest. He made a lot of money doing this. It was work, but he knew where all the 'good' stuff was.

    I have always wanted to see a Collaboration where LTT and other Tech CZcamsrs get a share space building and turn it into something similar to what Star Trek has done where the tech is built into the walls and you can use voice commands to have an AI computer help you and you all figure out a way to create communicators that can work similar to those in Star Trek.
