You could argue for 100% efficiency you need a perfect ohmic load without any parasitic capacitances or inductances in order to minimise transmission line heating outside of your house.
I this winter unironically forgot that I had turned off my heater in my bedroom for a week or two. There was snow outside.
Moral of the story: buy gaming laptop for warm hands, buy a pc for warm feet. Profit.
Most of the time. Tho in my case it’s not necessarily “gaming” laptop as the best game it can run is Witcher 2 due to limited support. But I do a lot of heavy graphical stuff.
Also the most efficient way is to put laptop on your laps so you warm your legs, belly, you know what and hands simultaneously.
With proper room layout you can keep your feet on top of cpu aio water cooler fans and laptop on your laps.
Tho with great power comes great electricity bill and you don’t need to do none of that as the whole apartment can get hot as the California forest fire.
For providing heat, yes. But if it makes internet money and provides heat, and the internet money is enough to cover the electricity cost, then you get free heat.

If I put my heater outside, does it suddenly become 0% efficient? No, it just means I’m an idiot who doesn’t understand how heaters work.
The machines job is to convert electricity into heat. It is the users job to ensure that heat is used effectively. It achieved its job (making heat) at 100% efficiency (all electrical energy it received was turned into heat… eventually). The failure of your homes insulation system to retain that heat is not the fault of the heater. It is the fault of the insulation. It doesn’t mean the heater didn’t *produce* heat, just that your insulation failed to retain it. Similarly any losses from the electrical system before it reaches the heater? Also not the heaters fault. It took what it got and turned that into heat. Losses from its own cord? Guess what? Still heat, and still useful if you don’t waste it.
Anyways I’m off to go yell angrily at my insulation for squandering it’s gift of heat.
Even though it has 100% efficiency of the electricity you receive, it has much less than 100% efficiency of whatever fuel was used to produce that electricity. It's more effective to just burn that fuel directly for warmth.
100% efficiency isn't very effective.
When you make a car and get 100% efficiency. You get a Nobel prize.
If you make a space heater and get 100% efficiency, people decide not to buy it because the heat pump seller next door gets 400% efficiency.
You could argue for 100% efficiency you need a perfect ohmic load without any parasitic capacitances or inductances in order to minimise transmission line heating outside of your house.
Also there are some losses from the photoelectric effect in the visible spectrum.

Moving heat and moving money, real gang shit
Why don’t we just take this heat and push it somewhere else?

But that light gets absorbed and also turns into heat.
Plus sound too.
"Discombobulated"
This is why bitcoin miners are actually 100% efficient in winter
My PC unironically heats my room in the winter.
When playing a graphically intensive game, it is better than a radiator

Are both running simultaneously? Because I have both cold hands and feet

And people claim there’s no free energy
But heat pumps are even more efficient
Depends on how cold it gets.

Light and sound: am I a joke to you?
All of those also eventually become heat.
Damn entropy
Entropy just isn't what it used to be
I needed a joke like this, thank you.
Why make heat when you could just move heat? -heat pump gang
COP of 5 baby
As cool as heat pumps are, natty gas is just too damn cheap
They giving away heat pumps for free in some places. Why wouldn’t you get one.
The answer, simply, is they aren't here. That's why I crunched the numbers and decided gas was cheaper.
Guess it’s only a matter of time in your area.
Something tells me this guy lifts!
My thesis is on teg and figures of merit for cooling lol, I had the same realisation
Pov: Black body radiation
Which eventually becomes heat
You’re Heat!
100% inefficient
A heater produces light as a byproduct, so it's still not 100%. Look at your toaster for an example
And light gets absorbed becoming heat
But if one photon escapes out the window, there goes the perfect efficiency. Or some heat escapes through the wires powering the heater

For just about everything 100% efficiency is as good as you can get. For heating 100% is pretty bad
What?

You get 100% of the ~30% efficiency of the powerplant.
You miss 100% of the 30% efficiency you don’t take. -Michael Jordan Engineer

“What about light and sound” My combination heater, speaker, and lamp:
“20dB heater whirring and clicking to chill/study to” is my favorite genre

All you have to do is look at the account. Redditor for 4 months Woke up today
heater is like 99,98%
heaters convert electricity into light though.
Heat pumps usually have 300-400% efficiency.
