That was my question as well.
This isnât some quantum physics problem, that itâs difficult to figure out. Nor is it problematic to find information on the subject on the internet:
Thatâs just the first credible source on the topic I found on 5-second search.
okay okay. you are right. it has an impact. sure
Itâs not so much that we use the 'Net so much. It is how we are connected to the 'Net and the amount of people globally becoming connected to the 'Net.
On that level there is some concern as amount of resource is used in building and maintaining the physical things and components. As well as what is already in use, especially building for servers, towers, and satellites. On that I can agree that we need to be aware. But at the moment it looks as though it is barely being looked at or taken seriously.
right. the amount of data you use does not really have an impact on those things
i mean, maybe it does, cause you have to have a device running that uses electricity. but that is not the actual data thatâs causing those problems
once the infrastructure is set up, it is there. itâs not like they rebuild your wires every second day.
the article mentioned starlink. i am curious if it is that good. but the receiver you need is like 350⏠a bit much just to test it
Iâve seen it somewhere that people compared âregular Googleâ search and search performed âby AIâ. Search by AI required like 1000 times electricity used by âregularâ search.
Electricity by itself is not free. It has some significant footprint on Nature.
Looking from this POV one can say amount of information processed has direct price payed by Nature.

Clearly these patches are extremely important to CCP with the amount of trolling in this post.
Almost makes me bother actually figuring out what they do.

and another 400MB patch today
At least today had patch notesâŚ

another patch todayâŚ
and why do they write it as MiB ? it clearly is not Mebibytes⌠did those people ever learn their craft?
edit: okay. i was wrong maybe
there are datas to download
i hate datas to download
so, if they ARE using MiB correctly. it is EVEN MORE data! 
Why is there a 150mb âupdateâ every day

In the UK, 98% of homes have access to unlimited broadbandâŚand there are even special social deals available ( by law ) for poorer people.
Just as there are certain âminimum specsâ for games and it is not the gaming companyâs fault if your PC doesnât meet those, so too is that the case with internet speeds, etc. It is not CCPâs fault if you are running EVE on a ZX81 via a 56K modem with a metered network.

Donât waste your energy on these assclowns⌠They did an update about two weeks ago that totally screwed up the price histories and they still havenât fixed it⌠Looks like it would be too much trouble for them to undo all the updates to fix their untested stupidity, so they are just leaving it all screwed up⌠Unfortunately, they only care about making the game look falsely profitable so they can sell it to a company who is unaware of what is really going on with itâŚ

Unless you are in some remote area of the world, unlimited access for households is in the 90%s for most developed nations.
