It’s interesting to me that we’re fine with dumping 8 litres of perfectly good water every time we use a toilet, but for some reason a few millilitres of datacentre cooling evaporation is beyond the pail

Neat system in the cafe at our local National Trust place. NFC(?) tags under the table, cashier gives you a wireless reader, your food finds you
