There are three As in "Strawberry". Let's count.

and there you have it.
Aren't these data centers build 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...
And if you plant some bamboo on the property, it REALLY becomes a problem for the data centers.
If you see someone stealing RAM, no you didn't
Snitches get switches?
What's gonna be looted next, Flock cameras?!
We can hope
Remember guys, snitches get stitches.
Snitches don't get free second-hand enterprise switches
Ok people, clean em out.
Maybe it was Sony. I hear they are revoking games people purchased. Maybe they expanded it to supplies paid for by taxes.
The comment I came in to make sure existed. Thank you for doing the good work.
What "thieves"? No one saw any "thieves". You can't prove anything.
Nature is healing
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.
Holy shit, the memes came true.
Don't let your memes be dreams
He will be remembered for that reaction and his contribution to pig husbandry
I don't even know who that is. I just know that one picture.
Oh my god, that's terrible! Where are these construction sites so that people can avoid them?
It's a sad state of affairs. These dastard pilferers can just Something Search "data center construction site list" and find several public websites that describe where datacenters are currently in operation and where they are being built.
Easy Mode Above Ground Copper Mines
Remember, if you see someone stealing from a data center.... no, you didn't.
Steal what you can carry and torch the rest.
A modern-ish datacentre AI GPU is worth well into five figures on eBay. The copper wire and "infrastructure equipment" is small potatoes compared to that. Like 100kg of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs would be worth more than those two whole truckloads.
I'd imagine that'd be easier to track with serial numbers and such, though.
Sandpaper and reflashing solve the two ways that's performed though.
Electronic component fencing has been a thing for a while (especially to regimes who aren't supposed to have them)
I for one think it would be amazing to see Kim Jong Un wandering around a data centre in Pyongyang made entirely from ironically stolen and donated US parts.
I don't think they'd be just sitting there in boxes as well to be installed but hey, never know.
Isn't that exactly the plan for those ridiculous NVidia home lootboxes?
No they didn't - they were with me rocking some Halo CE splitscreen and gorging on Mountain Dew and pizza. It was an all-nighter, so they wouldn't have had the time to be anywhere else.
Stop. Don’t. Come back.
oh no plz....dont....stop
So a single trailer is worth $650,000ish? That's worth a try I reckon.
What size vehicle would be needed to pull one I wonder?
not all heroes wear capes…
The memes worked!

Only theft I’m actually ok with.
I say give them maps, give them gear, and access cards if possible. Let's help out ahhahah
If they get caught I hope they start gofundmes
Oh no, those poor thieves.
Hurray!
