[alt text: a text-and-image post by @_w0xy. The text says: "Don't forget to tip your server". Below the text is an image of a computer server rack, which has tipped over sideways onto the floor. There are many hard drives and other broken computer components on the floor, which appear to have spilled out of the tipped-over server.]
Holy shit that’s at least a $30k mistake, probably a lot more depending on what’s broken
Or much less, if this thing was being decommissioned, which isn't that unlikely.
On a related note, I once spent much of a summer internship in a dimly lit basement, prying open hard drives and smashing the platters with a hammer. There's a surprising amount of variety in regards to how brittle those are: Some are like glass, whereas others are remarkably elastic and resilient.
Ned Ludd would be proud.
