good on them
Free market at work. Nothing to see here.
Big truck for one stick of RAM
Not all heroes wear capes.
Actually I kind of hope they did
Sad that they got their shit back.
That RAM won’t work in my gaming PC!
Old and busted: Software piracy
New hotness: Hardware piracy
Rob GPUs from the rich, give GPUs to the poor
Lol, rob gpus from the rich to sell gpus to the rich.
I love boosters two
They’re not even useful to anyone else.
What’s the melt value tho?
We had hardware piracy back in the day, when there were CPUs you may have been able to unlock extra cores on.
Then the companies started lasering them off so that was no longer possible.
GTA 6 mission leak
It is going into cartel data centers!
Looks like most people in here both, didn’t actually read that everything was recovered, and also don’t understand freight theft.
$1.3 million
“Just installed 37,000 TB of DDR5 to my rig.”
It was only 1.3mil in memory l… So by delivery truck did you mean 1 small FedEx blister pack?
Really disappointing to hear that the equipment was recovered.
You love to see it.
Unfortunately, with the state of this country I could also see aggressive militarized private security getting more popular around this shit.
The Arasaka and Militech corpo future is closer than 2077 it seems
Look into the history of the Chiquita banana company. We already been there a while now.
Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk series actually started in 1988 with the first version of the TRRPG set in 2013. Arasaka was around then. Armatech-Luccessi International, which became Militech after rebranding, was a corpo in 2013, just in a different capacity at the time.
In 1990’s Cyberpunk 2020, set in 2020, both corpos had been fully established as very powerful, separate entities.
So, Mike’s seen this coming for a while. There are so many parallels from our current timeline and the fictional one in the game, it’s scary…
Honestly, there is a big turn in sci Fi when we moved towards neoliberalism.
It’s almost like in the 70s and 80s a lot of it became dystopian or fantasy.
Avarice as a prime motive does not make happy stories.
Just waiting for Trump to invade Panema and bring about the final collapse of the US.
Given that only another AI company could possibly be interested in AI chips perhaps we could spark some sort of war between two rival groups. Could be fun.
Oh boy, just what we need, corpo-wars to go along with the nation-wars.
It would be nice to see them hurting each other instead of the general populace, but we all know that they do collateral damage to innocents even when weapons aren’t involved.
The neat part about America is anyone can own militarized private security gear and weapons
I hooe they take all the rest too.
Fuck yeah, keep it up. If we cant have the hardware neither can they.
