What are the other things that data center developers need?
23:54
I think the number two spot is tied.
23:57
Water and land.

So once you determine that a site might be suitable, that you've got the power needs locked in, there's going to be a need for water.

No more, baby.
8:45
Geez, yeah.
8:46
No, I think that's a, that's a really smart feature, like anything to make it more convenient.

7:31
Oh, wow.
7:31
... you know, the Sony a9 III is a very cool camera.
7:33
It has global shutter.
7:34
It means you can fire full electronic shutter.
7:37
No rolling shutter issues whatsoever.
7:39
No flash sync problems, either.
7:41
The wibbly wobblies.
