He should have gotten together with the SSD guy.

They could have made a Beowulf cluster.

Is this some new TikTokery nonsense?

but they may be AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, as they appear to sport the characteristic 'octopus' IHS

Not even close. More like Skylake X? Why that old though.

Just need a way to body-smuggle 300 motherboards and 300 PSUs! Those are going to be fun challenges.

You must be super new here. This is a reference from decades ago from slashdot trolling. At least from 2001 if not earlier.

He is not 'new'.
Neither here, or in the entire IT space.

The "profit" is not to the guy smuggling that gets caught.
He simply gets paid a fee to do a job.

The "profit" goes to the people on each end.

Much like drug smugglers and their mules.

Only if the person has an inroad to the gold/silver/rolex world.

And those things are also happening.
Maybe even the same group of headmen.

Ah yes, the international constant of people being stupid.

I don't understand the plan these folks had. I mean, I can't get through security with keys in my pocket because you know...metal detectors. How was this supposed to work?
