yeah, i think the plan all along was that if failure rates are improved enough you'd build them to never be maintained. sink them, operate, and then only drag them back up when it is time to recycle everything in them.

the fact that they're not doing it still suggests that the numbers indeed don't add up, but, idk, seems a really interesting (ecologically mostly) thing to have tried.

putting things in the ocean is really expensive, and people who sail in it are awful

I mean, the headline "Microsoft implements under water data center" would be immediately followed by "microsoft data center wrecked by cruise ship, no survivors"

Pumping seawater up and down requires energy, moving parts, filters, cleaning, and moving highly corrosive water around.

Just plopping in the ocean as a passive solution was much more clever. As long as the container itself and the lines leading to it stay passively waterproof it should work pretty drat well.

now you're thinking with portholes!
