gollark: ... not in that form.
gollark: In the Eldraeverse, yes.
gollark: Also, any new computing systems would fit well in the power beaming solar swarm of doom, where there's lots of power and presumably decent networking and cooling.
gollark: Why's the UN not sending a *lot* of uploads instead of a huge crew of physical people?
