    Here me out: a global computing cooperative –
    Collectively owned servers and gaming PCs are run at max power wherever it’s winter at the time, streaming the data to where it is needed.

      So it sends data to/from a remote place? A place that’s probably far away, kinda like those fluffy-looking things in the sky? May I suggest that you name your idea “cloud computing”?

      There, you’re out.

      That’s a lot of bandwidth, but it sounds like a good idea.

      I mean data center excess heat is already used for district heating and that’s a shared resource. Not free or communal computing resource though.
