minus-squarehydroptic@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-29 months agoYes, and it’s not infrared. Do you think the purpose of telecom systems is to produce heat? What the hell do you think waste heat even is? Waste heat is heat that is produced by a machine, or other process that uses energy, as a byproduct of doing work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat
