    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

      Not just copper. These server racks 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.

    Aren’t these data centers built on our land, right next to our homes, using our water and electricity, funded by selling our data (that we didn’t consent to), and the profits all go to giant corporations, not us? Fuck 'em. I hope they all get raided and stripped bare…
