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.
They replaced the security guards with ~~the smell of their own farts~~ AI.
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.
You wouldnt steal a data center
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.
I think the word you were looking for is extradite, which is sending someone home/to the country where crime was committed, to face their justice system.
Excommunication is kicking someone out of a religion/the church, specifically christian afaik, though not all use that word :)
You're right! Thank you friend!
capitalism seems more like a cult all the time now that you mention it.
Stealing from evil corporations is definitely some people's religion.
