lmao i would like some more detail about this

https://www.computerweekly.com/microscope/news/2240153208/Dell-staffers-arrested-following-botched-PR-stunt

According to police in Round Rock, Texas, two members of a small sales team had "enacted an in-house product promotion scheme, with little or no notice to co-workers, internal security or Dell executives."

"Essentially, a member of the marketing group who wore dark clothing with a face-hiding, skull-pattern mask held aloft small metallic items as he rushed through densely staffed areas while yelling 'go to the lobby'," said the police.

Didn't intel do something with containerized datacenters where they just drop them in the ocean and use the water as a heatsink?

oh also there's no physical security at the bottom of the _fucking ocean_ so you can't use it to store any data worth anything

if you're that worried about it then have them wired to flood if they're tampered with

old ones works better than new ones due to eu regulations, don't they? there were no limits before on how much wattage there could be, now there's a ceiling that everyone must adhere to

we got a miele one that sounds like it uses some kind of inverter on the motor so it is plenty powerful and still pretty efficient too
