But the AP is still broadcasting so the WiFi never left it just won't provide data. Previous post is poking fun at bad journalism and oversimplifying the facts of the story. They cut data lines.
Yea that was annoying, it's like the billionaires don't want that to be discussed on their network. No such thing as free speech when the platform is owned by the enemy.
I would think actually more efficient because heat is the waste product not the expected product like a stand alone heater. Unless you are specifically running your PC at max just to create heat then just using your PC as intended and gaining "free" heat is a bonus.
My homelab is in the same space as my furnace so the ambient heat in that space is preheating my ducts. In the summer when the AC runs the cold air leaking into the space helps cool my homelab. In my garage office my desktop with 9 spinning drives and 3070 really keeps the space comfortable.
More drives mean more heat and more power usage. Better to have two large with parity enabled. The chances of both failing is very rare. Should be using an online backup service like backblaze or having a plan to take a copy off-site.
