    They aren’t giving much information about these mini data centres. Basically it sounds like “Bitcoin farms” aka as AI training installed into peoples homes and they are using the heat from it to heat their homes. Its probably a better deal than most heating systems, they pay for their electricity use and connectivity and I get a low flat rate charge for heating.
