Those impatient to sell their soul needn’t waste a second more: the ultimate Faustian bargain for our modern age has arrived, courtesy of UK “green distributed compute network”
Heata. The
offer (via
Tom’s Hardware) is deceptively simple. You let Heata install a water-heating
server unit next to your existing hot water cylinder, and it’ll provide up to 4.8kWh of free hot water a day (80% of a UK household’s daily use, apparently) for an entire year. This is done simply by letting businesses use the server for cloud computation while the unit scoops up waste heat.In theory, it sounds like a strong concept, given that it currently costs a pretty penny to heat a home. And so you may be tempted to let a company that claims to be committed to
stamping out fuel poverty, and able to save you "
up to £200 a year", help out.
