And dont forget the copper cables lining the walls, powering the systems. Absolute treasure trove in there.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I heard of a guy who not only sold the copper but also the palladium and gold and made a fortune. Now he drives a Mercedes.
As someone who has actually had to service gear inside an equinox data center I'll tell you this: mostly unstaffed yes but more secure than a bank. I had I think six layers of security to get through including badge readers, man traps, palm scanners and combination locks.
The new ones for AI etc. are nowhere near a bank level security.
Pretty easy to knock a hole in a concrete slab wall and have full access to the goods if somebody wanted too.
What is a man trap?
Apparently this:
Mantrap: “Fool, no man can escape me!”
Eowyn: pulls off her helmet
So an airlock?
Correct
this was such an incredible skit. one for the ages
they're also filled with gpus...
screw gpus, ram, you want the ram
Por que no los dos?
Absolutely should not tell people that fire is its weakness, and damaging data centers hurts insurance companies more because of equipment replacements, and rebuilding structures costs + manpower and whatnot.
Don't fire them until after you've taken the ram
Uh, or not I am too high to backwards words that
Anyone know how much ram is in one of those security dogs?
The staff wont stop you but if you arent familiar with how to isolate electrical equipment with more than one source of power you might get yourself killed.
Also don't tell anyone about huge amounts of ram sticks that you can easily get out by hundreds.
Probably ECC unfortunately
Unfortunately? The unregistered stuff works in most AMD boards. You can trade the GPUs for a car strait up. Or the whole blade for a house.
I don't know how legit this is, but I heard that datacenters also where people store their catalytic converters when they change to electric vehicles.
Is that where the cat distribution system stores them before giving them to cars? It's way too complicated for me to understand
Must be how they use so much water, too. Makes perfect sense.
(Seriously under the hood of a bolt the only interesting thing there that isn't sealed in a metal box is three separate cooling fluids plus washer fluid. Just so much fluid.)
Shhh! They're gonna find out that every server rack contains one T206 Honus Wagner card to function.
It's a small step from "robotic guard dogs," to "armed robotic guard dogs."

My money is on the crackheads with facepaint and sledge hammers
Seriously just gotta give the crackheads a slingshot, some rags and a bucket of paint and that dog is blind
crackheads with face~~paint~~
lemon juice
You know how much gold and platinum is in a robot attack dog? Free ammo too!
And teeth. They're full of teeth
Sadly the one by me has a small army of armed guards...
Just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score!
Ever heard of a man trap?
Every data center I've been to uses them. Best part is if you don't know what you're looking at, you'd have no idea the foyer was constructed as a man trap.
Don't need much security when you have a man trap.
The DCs where my stuff is stored? You're not getting in. It's just not happening.
Right?
I'm responsible for a bunch of systems in there - inclusibg specialized hardware - and I'm not allowed anywhere near it.
I've seen it once or twice, by special permissin only, and with an escort.

Exactly this. We're in places with concrete tank traps out front and retina scanners and guards behind the glass and all that craziness -- but aside from the tank traps it's all second-hand info from one of the 4 people I know - of thousands - who can actually go onsite and get in. If he doesn't send the change request beforehand, and it's all approved and whatnot, the guards will NOT enable the door. No tools in/out, no 3rd-party media out, etc.
Like, really, man, no one's getting in. I guess that means I get downvotes; I dunno.
Whoever thought of the meme probably doesn't work in tech. A brand-new AI datacenter is not going to be left unguarded. Doubly so if there's government data being stored or processed within it.
