I've used Plex to run a media server from my home in the past, been a few years though. I believe you can still do that with the free version. Then you just need to set up Plex to wake on LAN so the computer you're using for the media server will wake up when you want to watch something. This does require that the device is hardwired as WiFi doesn't offer wake options.

Because it's not releasing on PC?

Also routing my calls to the phone app for no reason when I am clearly ACTIVE AND TYPING on PC.

And the opposite problem when you don't get message notifications on your phone because you forgot to close it on your PC.

Water used to cool data centers is either consumed, meaning it evaporates into the atmosphere via the data center’s cooling towers or discharged, as industrial wastewater, usually to a local wastewater treatment plant.

It can't just be dumped into a river, has to go to a sewer treatment plant.

edit: They do recirculate it, but it eventually needs to be replaced. And some facilities have treatment plants on site, so doesn't necessarily needed to go to a sewer treatment plant.

These cooling systems remove and release all of the heat produced inside a data center – from servers, IT equipment, and mechanical infrastructure – into the outside environment, through a cooling tower that uses a water evaporation process.

It goes outside and eventually becomes rain.

Some water is used in humidifiers, there are also systems that use direct evaporative cooling where the water is eveporated to cool the hot air. There are probably other ways the water is lost.

AWS’ preferred cooling strategy for its data centers is known as direct evaporative cooling. In this system, hot air is pulled from outside and pushed through water-soaked cooling pads. The water evaporates, reducing the air’s temperature, and the cool air is then sent into the server rooms.

Some of the water is evaporated so it doesn't leave as a liquid.

The cat distribution system strikes again!

Same for me, went to watch it on Independence Day and it was a wild ride! Some guy jumped up and yelled "FUCK YEAH, GET SOME!" when Will punched that alien. By far the greatest movie experience I've ever had.

You can select the whole table and copy/paste it into a spreadsheet program. Then you have all the spreadsheet tools to use. I just tested in excel and Google sheets and both loaded the data correctly.

edit: Here is that spreadsheet in google sheets.
