minus-squareathatet@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 hours agoWhat you don’t understand is the size requirements those radiators would need to have to cool an entire data center.
minus-squareBeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·4 hours agoTell me you don’t know how radiators actually work without telling me. They dissipate heat via convection through the air surrounding them or gasses in general. What does space lack a significant amount of?
