The plot of the good old "Fast and Furious" comes to life in the USA.
In California, a truck with $11.4 million worth of Nvidia equipment disappeared without a trace. The car set off from Oakland to Texas on August 29, made several long stops and then disappeared with the driver. The police have been searching for the cargo for over two months, so far without success.
And this is not the first time! Last year alone, more than $7.5 million worth of Nvidia products were stolen in California. And since June of this year, data center equipment worth more than 100 million dollars has been stolen in the US!
The racers must have realized that the chips are much more profitable today than space flights and racing with submarines, so they use their skills in an increasingly inventive way. In some cases, they even rammed escort vehicles to steal trucks containing millions of dollars worth of equipment.
And to hide tracks, they use GPS coordinate swapping.
It is not surprising that security is gradually turning from a common good into a privilege. We need to hand out billions. If the system fails to redistribute wealth, marginalized groups take over. And who is behind them is a completely different question.
It would be interesting to look at armored convoys accompanying chipped trucks. And then there will be documentaries about the real Fury Roads.
So much for a vicious circle.
