A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't disagree that it was insane!

But no, the reason is that I live in a decently sized old house in a cold area. We've dual zone climate control and I'm not sure either heat pump stopped running the whole month. I do run some servers but that's true year round and most months my power bill is in various parts of triple digits.
