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.

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.

I wish them all the copper they can get from them!

This is the way. More people need to do this.

I mean, that’s where all the copper and expensive equipment is. Why would thieves go anywhere else?

Hell yeah! More people should steal from data centres.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

The perpetrators were with me at the time of the robbery playing video games.

Sloppy investigative work, really. Did they ever even stop to consider the possibility that the trailer simply just did that?

Unfathomably based.

That's the problem with making RAM so expensive. It's not physically very big so you can fit a lot of it in a truck

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

not all heroes wear capes…

[–] pomegranatefern@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit, the memes came true.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago

Don't let your memes be dreams

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

We'll be buying ram from guys in trenchcoats soon. Looking forward to that.
