@cwebber @avuko Im in Rennes. several people here witnessed the AC bail out and posted about it. I had no idea it was final, as in, not adequately sized for these temperatures.
@cwebber @avuko these are old LAMBDANET france sites bought by Cogent, start of the 2000s. cooling system engineering is roughly 25 years old and has not been updated since, afaik

@kouett @cwebber

In a sane world, the climate wouldn’t have changed so disastrously in 25 years… 🤯
