    Who would win in a fight?

    500 Raspberry Pis or 1 BIC?

    That’s a really cool idea. I wonder how it deals with waste heat in the summer, when one wouldn’t typically want to warm their home.

      You could maybe do it in some environments that want year-round heating, but yeah, the UK doesn’t seem like the best place for that.

      For some uses, there might also be physical security concerns for the servers.
