    News All-AMD LUMI Becomes Europe's Most Powerful Supercomputer

    There is no such thing as carbon negative super computing, unless it somehow captures CO2 from the atmosphere. Nevertheless, repurposing the waste heat is a very good way to deal with the fact that supercomputers use a lot of energy.

    News Next-Gen GPUs Will Require More Robust Cooling Solutions

    I tried to address this in a post here several weeks ago, but the response from the community was that 'it's not that bad'. I agree with you though.

    Question Windows 98 question... From boot to sleep

    This is probably salvageable if you can find another PC with a working operating system to plug the drive into. Windows 98 doesn't really do anything to protect the data on the boot drive.
