Investigators recovered two stolen trailers carrying $1.3 million in data center supplies, including copper wire and infrastructure equipment.
Remember: if you see someone stealing from a data center, no you didn’t!
Remember to bring a leash while looking for your lost dog.
And a spare dog in case you get nervous mid-heist.
We have
23 dogs. Here Fido!
It’s the only way I can get affordable storage nowadays…
Be the change you want to see in the world.
The modern Robin Hood does not give to any poor but themselves, yet do us all a great service in stifling more harm.
Bless them all.
of course, this accomplished nothing, all these sites have insurance, so we all pay for this while construction is delayed a few days.
Thieves? Or redistrubtors of natural resources?
It’s the inverse of the children yearning for the mines, it’s the copper yearning for the thieves.
Look I’m not a scientist but I think it’s basically 2 of the stages of the water cycle, for copper.
Honestly given how much copper may have been recycled since the Copper Age I’m gonna hazard a guess that your joke isn’t even all that wrong. There’s a bronze statue in I want to say Germany that was made back in the 1600s that we’re pretty sure a good bit of the copper and bronze was stolen from ancient graves.
It’s funny to see this happening to data centres but if we all are honest with ourselves, copper thieves are one of the biggest scourges of the 21st century. I mean, there’s a reason why internet companies write “FIBRE OPTIC NO COPPER” on their equipment.
That sounds like something nice shiny copper would have on its sleeve to deter theft.
We did fiber links in Africa, we showed the locals it was worthless. They still dug it up after the install team was out of sight.
A data center is getting built near me. I was taking my dogs to walk on a local trail and they’ve completely shut down the public road with private security guards to keep people away from their data center. Had to find an alternate route to the trail.
How do I support these endeavors?
Spread the idea to your local crackheads
Give your local copper thieves maps to your local data center construction and a fresh pair of wire cutters. And an empty dog leash so they can say their dog ran in there and they’re just looking for their dog.
What a timeline. Palantir deploying AI missiles to prevent copper theft while water warriors plant bamboo next to data centers.
Can someone please liberate some RAM…
Thieves? These are heroes.
Heroes.
They are helping humanity.
Wait, i can only get so erect
Investigators are full of shit. Those guys were clearly picking up trash.
Love to see it.
I honestly didn’t know the worth of copper had gone up so much.
