This sounds like trying to do stuff in Excel? The computer isn't overheating but the amount of memory needed is very high which would make it run poorly. They might interpret that as overheating?

Yeah, everyone commenting about being able to handle billions of rows easily, which obviously very true if you are worming with sql or similar.

But this is probably some finance kid, investment banker analyst, and only knows how to use Excel.

60,000 rows in excel with formulas, if not done efficiently, can for sure make you computer a little toasty.

Literally every time someone dismisses Wikipedia, it's because they believe something crazy that Wikipedia told them is wrong.

I checked conservapedia once, and its actually unhinged. If someone tells you to look at that, or reccommends it, they're crazy.

Molly White is very bright, and she makes them feel inadequate so they "have to" attack her. It's truly pathetic.

60k lol.

I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.

I used to perform data analysis of robotics firmware logs which would generate several million log lines per hour and that was my second job out of college.

I don't know how you fuck up 60k lines that bad. Is he nesting 150 for loops and loading a copy of the data set in each one while mining crypto??

What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.

I bet a million bucks the harddrive didnt "overheat".

Its just someone who doesnt know anything about computer hardware.

Its like me saying my car overheated if there is smoke coming out of it. I know nothing about cars.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they'll do the 'full' data grab and 'find' what they were looking for.

I didn't know hard drive overheating was a thing. Should I be worried that my 5 year old hard drive is about to overheat. I mean is this actually a floppy disk or something?

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago

it is a thing, but any competently designed computer should have things in place to prevent this.

unless you're an arrogant dipshit and disable all the hardware safeties on your computer to make it go faster and wear harder.

No matter what actually happened here we can confidently state this clown is full of shit and has no idea what he's doing.

I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.
