computers, heat, personal realization
I didn't realize how much heat comes from computers.
I thought most of my 650w would go into processing... although gosh maybe it does and I'm highly under estimating the watt.
you hear a watt...or joule I forget which is the amount of energy to do Xyz... but it's honestly rather unintuitive.

@LottieVixen every single of those watts becomes heat
re: computers, heat, personal realization
@noiob I don't understand if all of it goes to heat then how does work get done with it
re: computers, heat, personal realization
@LottieVixen energy can't be destroyed, just converted to a less useful form of energy (scientists say that the entropy of the system rises)
re: computers, heat, personal realization
@LottieVixen yes! and that's happening all the time and can't be reversed, to convert energy into a more "useful" form you have to expend more energy, the entropy of the universe can only go up
