minus-squarekkj@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·6 hours agoA brushless motor only converts ~5% of its input to heat. That’s low enough that you can reasonably call it a side effect. Now, a computer, that’s a heater that happens to produce math as a side effect. 100% of its input ends up as heat.
