in other news I thought this was interesting. Another in a series of articles about how Prineville has become the home of giant data centers: https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-...-total-spending-there-will-top-2-billion.html for perspective, Facebook's infrastructure, gauged in building square feet, when finished in 2023, will cover nearly 900 acres; one square mile is 640 acres. Kind of mind boggling considering where it is. That's just Facebook. Apple has a huge data center presence as well
I used to sell windows, doors, etc. around those parts. I always wanted to invest in Prineville, knowing that data centers (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc.) would continue to build there. It's that certain climate that draws these guys. Cooler temperatures = lest electricity to cool the servers, etc. Pretty redneck community, but evolving.
I wouldn't describe it as Silicon Valley, though. There's no human innovation or invention going on in Prineville. barfo
Google built a large data center in The Dalles several years back as that kind of opened the door for Silicone Valley companies to be looking at areas in Oregon. I'm sure the cost of realestate has something to do with it.
Birds Eye View Okay so now screen shots are too large for the server to process? @SlyPokerDog Just trying to screenshot an overhead satellite image of this from google maps.
I speak english. Not mutt mumble. I only have one print screen button option. Ive never had to to that before. Also, whats that Blazers swag thread name with all the hilarious home made stuff? Do you? Not finding it when searching various title names.
Rather than using print screen, I much prefer the snipping tool. If you're using a PC, you can find it in "windows accessories" in your start menu.
My daughter in law grew up in Prineville...her dad lives in Bend....all I can say is if this happens they're going to fuck up some of my favorite fishing spots...Les Schwab is from there and kept his main office there ...I heard they're up for sale
Use the Windows Snipping Tool instead of print screen. No, I can't remember what the thread is called.
lol...for chrissakes, I said "silicone' as a bit of hyperbole...a rhetorical flourish for the thread title. chill pills all around secondly, if you wonder what is exactly inside a data center, and there is not a lot of access, Google opened the doors to one of their's several years ago: https://www.wired.com/2012/10/ff-inside-google-data-center/
You Da Man! @OR-84 This is the thread of the forum . Some images are no longer viewable, so as you scroll along, some of the earlier you cant see, but some is just hilarious.
Dammit. I snipped it and its still giving me the error. I wanted it bigger Ive never had an issue with print screen being too big before.
It took me a second to realize you had tagged me in this thread while referring to the other one, lol. I appreciate you and the rest of the Blazer FAMS
Just trying to show perspective of how big this facebook plant is. Its the long rectangular buildings West and a little South.
Two different threads. The one I tagged you in the other thread is for legit Blazers swag. the one I tagged you in here is for comedy relief.
