        Going to take you a lot of time with a soldering iron. These are soldered HBM2 chips, not the DDR DIMMs you want. Still manufactured in the same facilities so they hold up that manufacturing capacity but can’t really be repurposed.

      Not even that. They’ve bought a lot more storage, memory and GPUs than they have datawarehouses with power to install them in.

      Not even that. The threat of a missile was enough to close the strait of Hormuz. They didn’t need to blow up every ship… Targeting a single ship, alongside an announcement that more is to come, would have been enough. It’s the risk that has the lasting effect, and I think it could only take a single well-motivated person to reproduce those results with data centers.
