@PleegWat Milk, no, unless I'm making masala chai. Not because I don't like milk in my tea, but I'd have to wash my mug every time I make a cuppa, lest the residue undergo unpleasant transformations, and . Sugar, unfortunately no; now I have to use stevia (or some artificial sweetener ) instead.
Or you could like train your tastebuds to not require sugar. Plus lemon makes the tea taste much better
Is this like a theoretical smart-assery or a real suggestion?
Yes, I could train my taste buds NoT tO rEqUiRe SuGaR , but the reality is I'm fucking addicted and sugar is the only joy on my life.
Now I love sugar as much as the next guy, probably even more. But to need to put it in your tea or coffee is ridiculous. Just stop doing it and in a short while your tastebuds will come to accept that you don't need sugar if you stop overloading them with sugar, normal things will actually taste sweeter.
Edit: I don't think I even have any sugar in my house. Not to say that I don't eat yogurt with too much sugar in it, or eat mangoes and mandarins (the good stuff), add honey sometimes or even eat dried mangoes or cranberries, so I definitely eat a lot of added sugar I shouldn't, but to add plain sugar to your tea? Why?

Eh, it’s not that crazy.
IF you use resistive electrical heating, then obviously you’re just wasting electricity to create heat. Electricity you might as well use for something before it gets converted to heat. In other settings, using waste heat of data centers for district heating is quite sensible.The problems are of course: that only makes sense if you have a need / use for that, e.g. a data center, in the first place. If you just need heating, heat pumps are much more energy efficient than resistive heating, and much cheaper than high performance computer chips.
And, of course, using it to mine shitcoins is stupid because shitcoins themselves are stupid, worthless crap.Heat pumps might be more efficient, but absent that this thing is exactly as efficient as a space heater. And it mines bitcoin to boot.
Given that it is doing work other than heating, it can't be as effective as a space heater at generating heat, since the only thing resistive space heaters do is turn electricity into heat.
Well, for that to be true, a CPU would need to convert the electric energy into something else besides heat. Maybe if you discard radio waves as "usable" heat?
Information is not free, it requires energy. Shitcoins, for all their uselessness, is still information being generated.
I'm not aware that "information" is a form of energy.
What is not a form of energy?

RE: When I proposed this a few years ago you guys called me crazy
@kazitor said in When I proposed this a few years ago you guys called me crazy:
The problem with the product under discussion is one of economics. Even if it uses comparable power for comparable heat², it’s bound to be far more expensive and short-lived than a normal piece of metal, which makes the ROI over normal metal almost certainly negative, despite marginal gains of shitcoins.
Well that's the question, is the gain in shitcoins really marginal? If you can buy it from them for $450, which by the way is not a totally awful price for a heater/HEPA filter, although I don't know if the HEPA filtering would be any good, or how long the filter would last, or if there are even replacement filters), the question is how long would this thing work and how many shitcoins can it produce in that time vs how much additional energy would you use on it. If you are running it during the winter and already have electric heat that is not a heatpump, I would argue that you are not using any additional energy, so as long as the thing lasts more than 6 months where you would need heat and produces the $600 they promised, you are already ahead.

It is going to use the 1200 watts of power and turn it into heat. So in power to heat ratio it's exactly as effective. (Although most heaters are 1500 watts and would probably heat up quicker)
Also I said efficient, not effective. As in power consumption to heat output.

It makes them $600, but you still have to pay for powerWhich, unless you have a heat pump, you're already paying for. Unless you have gas heat like me.

Claims it can generate about $600 in 6 months running 24/7 based on the current bitcoin price

I have used keepass for a long time, I have it as fully standalone but it has an extensive plugin library.
Same here, and the android client keeps getting better and better.
The downside is the native mac client sucks. No s3 support, and very basic functionality. Good thing I've got parallels.
