I have one similar and it does work, granted the ambient humidity is less than around 50% I live in the desert in northern nevada and we cool our house with a huge one and I have a small desk size one I use in my room. Most of the time our ambient humidity is in the mid teens here so they work rather well.

I will say ‘I like my coffee like I like my women, black and strong’. My wife is a tiny white girl so I tend to get funny looks when I say it.

Centos in like 2008… idk the version, i had to learn how to set up a basic internal http server with a sql database or something from zero. It was fun.

118F -42F. Both extremes experienced in northern Nevada.

Worked in tech support for a major internet provider. We would constantly have major ouages in various locations due to overtaxed systems going down. Corporate refused to allow us to admit that there were problems on our end and forced the techs to troubleshoot the customer calls, even though we all knew that we could do nothing for the customer. Saw multiple techs releived of their job for telling the truth to the customers. So many hours wasted on both the customer and techs part.
