This is very unfortunate. There is a tremendous amount of copper in these data centers, thieves would be able to steal so much copper from data center job sites. It’s frightening to think about it
Why there’s so much copper they can make 1.3 million dollars from it and then go to a country that won’t excommunicate them.
Not just copper. These server rakes are so unfortunately loaded up with parts and components worth a lot of money on the open market. Very unfortunately they have enterprise grade SSDs worth thousands and AI accellerater cards worth 10s of thousands.
And these poor starving companies very unfortunately don’t have the funds to hire a lot of security staff. It’s sadly usually just one guy.
Honestly, logistical problems with the weight are gonna be one of the first hurdles. It’s way more than you would even think.
Some say that even if every meth head in the city showed up there would be copper left over.
