IT guy checking in.

The only time I've even seen drive temp sensor alarms is on server raid arrays and other similar hard drives/SSDs.... Never in my life have I seen one available on a consumer device, nor have I seen any alarm for and drive temp, go off. Out just doesn't happen.

IMO, this is one of those language barriers where people call their computer chassis (and everything in it) the "hard drive".

Applying that assumption, their updated statement is: His computer over heated.

Idk what kind of shit system he's running on that 60k rows would cause overheating, but ok.

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

Maybe he left his shed lizard skin on top of the hard drive that caused the overheating?

[-] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 64 points 11 hours ago

Even a gamer knows that ssdd heat up but never to that level, lol.

What kind of cheap temu ssd does he have in his laptop?

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 57 minutes ago

Took out the fans for the aesthetic

[-] art@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

He was saving money, you know, to be efficient.

[-] eryndalor@lemm.ee 112 points 13 hours ago

60k of rows is nothing. Fuck, where do you find these “geniuses”?

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

There's only one reason he wants kids and not experienced adults.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 54 minutes ago

He’s attracted to them?

I do data analysis for a living, I reach out to tech and complain if I can't open a file with a million+ lines.

[-] houseofleft@slrpnk.net 24 points 12 hours ago

Tbf we don't know how many columns there are /s

[-] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

The IRS just switched columns and rows. So there's 60k rows and 330 million columns /s

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 123 points 19 hours ago

Unless I'm misreading it which is possible it's awfully late, he said he processed 60,000 rows didn't find what he was looking for but his hard drive overheated on the full pass.

Discs don't overheat because there was load. Even if he f***** up and didn't index the data correctly (I assume it's a relational database since he's talking about rows) The disc isn't just going to overheat because the job is big. It's going to be lack of air flow or lack of heatsink.

I guarantee you he was running on an external NVMe, and one of those little shitty-ass Chinese enclosures. Or maybe one of those self immolating SanDisk enclosures. Hell, maybe he's on a desktop and he slept a raw NVMe on his motherboard without a heatsink

There are times when you want a brilliant college student on your team, But you need seasoned professionals to help them through the things they've never seen before and never done before.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

yes but also why say 60K when you could have literally said anything? I mean surely the fact that he thinks 60K rows a big number is already explaining alot lol.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It's bait.

They probably have an explanation tweet at the ready to make more sense of it. They just want enough 'hurr durr these idiot" comments before they reverse Uno card this with more context.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Based on all that has been going on, I feel like they don't really have the capacity to think more than one step ahead. They do sth stupid and then they usually follow up with "lol joke" or "lol you can't understand"

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago* (last edited 28 minutes ago)

Wait, seriously?

I don't get how people don't see this stuff. Yea the average trumpet isn't out there planning Jack shit. But there are think tanks that are. Remember anti-smoking campaigns. Anti climate change campaign. The precision to purchase advertising into key areas and specific demographics that would spread a message. This is ancient knowledge with modern technology.

Imagine a room full of former Wall Street, quants, established experts from fields like behavioral science and psychology. All with the singular goal to decide where to dedicate a dragons horde of wealth to maximize effect in a world where we all have anonymous pipes directly into our eyes and ears. We never stood a chance. There's no rich socialist funding think tanks. There's no counter. We can laugh at the yokel all we want. But the yokel is being puppeteered by some scary fuckers with intention to seize power with the new shifting Zeitgeist. Soldiers don't need to think. But their generals are. The left are like guerilla fighters going up against an imperial army full of Patons and Eisenhower's.

Cambridge analytical, heritage foundation, international democracy Union. We're fucked until we actually recognize why we're fucked

Honestly, any sweet, white-haired old lady who keeps pictures of her dogs and grandkids on her desk who's been doing data entry for 15 years could do circles around these clowns.

But she might also have the wisdom and perception to know we're not supposed to be doing this "work" at all, which is why he recruits naive teenagers and college kids who are still emotionally immature to think that this is going to be their "destiny" or their opportunity to get into the big leagues of business.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

I keep hearing things about these hires he has, I don't think they're naive, At least not as such. They seem to be more power hungry trust fund babies.

But yeah, people with a few years in them would be a moral liability in that line of work.

[-] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah if you read more of these guys tweets they are clearly in politics. One message tried to claim trump loves kids (to be clear: in the abstract sense, not in the he definitely fucked kids on an island with Epstein sense). Then they tried to twist the words to say "why don't you love kids". It was clumsy like you'd expect from someone who is practically a teenager, but the core is an attempt to follow the usual right wing playbook.

Can't be a relational database, Musk said the government doesn't use SQL.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 11 hours ago

Lol he also said cybertrucks don't suck ;)

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 25 points 15 hours ago

He said many things.

[-] el_bhm@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago

Please remember that he is a genius. Only geniuses say a lot of things.

I rest my case.

music theaters also have rows, and they run on sql so logic checks out.

This cannot be real, wtf. This is cartoon levels of ineptitude.

Or sabotage by someone heading out? Please let this be resistance sabotage they haven’t noticed yet.

You're not supposed to place your laptop directly in the lap of your fur suit. Always leave an air gap for ventilation, smh.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 48 points 19 hours ago

Either she knows something novel, where processing data using voice coils is somehow beneficial, or is someone who calls their computer a ‘hard drive’, which summarily negates any legitimacy of technical competence.
