Hello. I am not a dropbear. I am definitely not sitting in a nearby tree waiting to drop on you as you pass by. You definitely don't need to take any defensive precautions. Don't carry an umbrella; don't wear a bike helmet; don't smear Vegemite behind your ears. You shouldn't even bother to look up. You're perfectly safe.
@jon_dog @michcampbell Sustainability Strategy (at bottom right of screen click "See more", then it's the last document in the list) says it's a "proposed 96 MW data centre", and that it has a "target potable [Water Usage Effectiveness] of 0.1 L/kWh". It also mentions "cooling systems refrigerant use", so at least some of its cooling will be refrigerative not evaporative.
How much is 0.1 L/kWh? Convert it to 0.1 kL/MWh, and we have
96MWh/h × 0.1 kL/MWh = 9.6 kL/h
So about 2.7 L/s or not quite 10 tonnes per hour.
@ariaflame One of the many pages linked from that entry suggests via a "thermionic converter": get an electrode so hot that it just blows electrons off (which you then catch on a cooler electrode).

@peternlewis Yes -- undesired interaction of features that are individually good.
In the original iOS, it dynamically changes the "hit zones" for each letter on the on-screen keyboard as we type, based on what the next letter we want most probably is. As far as I know, modern iOS still does (at least the first time you type).
This is a great feature, but it interacts negatively with the Text Replacement feature, because after you type 'm' or 'n', the hit zone for 'e' expands, and the hit zone for 'w' shrinks. And then "Ome" autocorrects to "One".

April 1st idea: early in the day, chalk hopscotch grids onto footpaths (or sidewalks if you're American) in high foot-traffic areas. Then sit back and see what people do.
@peternlewis I added a new shortcut 'onw', which expands to 'On my way.', to prevent Apple nonconsensually f***ing with my choice.
That fixes this specific problem for this specific user, but doesn't address your broader point.

I swapped mobile phones with my doppelganger in a parallel dimension. Face ID still works! His dimension don't know about transdimensional travel, so the photo roll on the phone I gave him is going to be really interesting to their scientists.
They don't have gen AI there either, so my doppelganger's going to tell them that any six-fingered hands are because of radiation-induced mutations caused by World War 3.
