You think they haven't tried that? If it was that simple it wouldn't have gotten plugged in in the first place.
It's monitored. You need to stop Musk and his lap dogs, who are backed by the DOJ and POTUS himself.
Everyone that's put up resistance has been walked out of the building and put on leave/fired.
If you're going to get fired anyway, you might as well throw it off the roof. A bit more effective of a delay than the 30 seconds it would take for someone to plug the power cable back in.
What stops them from putting in a new server just a day later
Nothing. Destroying it just wastes more of their time comparatively.
And it probably destroys Elmo's precious data as a bonus. Something this ~~haphazard~~ efficiently installed wouldn't have a well-tested backup procedure, let alone a backup policy to begin with.
Do PSUs in the USA have voltage switches? Just flick it on every server they install
Not usually. Could rip off the onboard speaker and snip off all the fan headers though, that'll take a while to figure out.
Edit; or a syringe of liquid metal sprayed in all over the board through a vent. Not hard to sabotage a computer physically tbh
Gallium?
See if they can walk 100 of them out at the same time.
That's exactly what they're aiming to do.
The one thing that usually prevents this is the need to prevent government dysfunction and the collapse of whole institutions, and neither Trump nor Musk give a fuck. It works in their favor and their supporters are happy to justify it.
Pretty much. At some point stuff like this relies on everyone accepting it. The man in the high castle is a pretty good example of it actually. John didn't grow up a nazi, doesn't genuinely believe in it, but goes along with it so he can continue to provide for his family.
In the end what difference does it make it you are just going along with it or if you believe it?
Damn, if only we had the 2nd amendment.
You first
Alright, so long as you promise to go second! Also, can I borrow your gun? lmfao
"oops I must have bumped the power cable while working on the server next to it, my bad"
5 min of downtime isn't all that big a deal.
I like your guys' enthusiasm, but we need real solutions.
"oops I wrote down the wrong rack location for destruction"?
