    In all seriousness if we tilted the equation back toward downloading frequently viewed media onto local storage rather than using the cloud for everything it would be more efficient in every way, including environmentally But I guess that's not happeninghttps://twitter.com/bigthink/status/1213315191338938368 …

    Your Netflix binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts. The emissions generated by watching 30 minutes of Netflix is the same as driving almost 4 miles: http://bit.ly/2SSrPxg  pic.twitter.com/X8OftDUtbE

        Ehhh, only kinda? Production costs of Local Storage are pretty high, so, it'd be more efficient, but, only by a slimmer margin then anyone would like, and would cost a lot more in terms of space and actual cash for the storage.

        How does it compare to the manufacturing and shipping of a disc, for something I’ll probably watch once?

        I’m not convinced that that’s true. Cleaning the grid is some of the low hanging fruit of climate change, while building thousands of hard drives for local storage is necessarily mineral-intense. Depending on the way your grid is powered, this could go either way

        Plus unless people are watching the Witcher 20 times downloading it locally isn’t going to save any resources

        I'd like to actually see where they get their numbers. There's no doubt that data centers consume a lot of power, but the carbon footprint of 30 minutes of netflix might as well be pulled from thin air. What does that all include? Does it include TV power? lights, etc?

        Replying to @arthur_affect

        The article itself admits that all data centers COMBINED are responsible for only 0.3% of carbon emissions. It's such horseshit to make that out like one person's decision to stream a show has meaningful impact

        Replying to @FartCaptor @arthur_affect

        Honestly, this is an ongoing problem with environmental discourse. It's a lot of "personal responsibility" shit without ever really putting pressure on major corporations which act as large scale polluters or stressing the need for meaningful infrastructure changes.

        There are numerous methodological problems with Shift's hypothesis. The primary one being the equivocation data flows to processing/energy usage.

        While transcoding remains an issue in places, it's mostly been reduced - processing for this pales in comparison to things like crytomining. The idea that there is more efficiency with mils of users each having terabytes of storage at home is simply wrong.
