Oh, actual truck trailers!
I had to read it like 3 or 4 times before I understood. Just confirming every intrepretation was bonkers until I remembered trucks are a thing.
The trick: technically, silicon is sand.
Achtually! Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Sand is (mostly) Silicon Dioxide, SiO2.
You are right, Internet friend. My humble thanks for the education.
Why does this read like a marketing stunt?
Cause it likely is.
Edit: thinking about it further we have never heard of, nor seen, an Nvidia branded trailer. We have never heard about one getting stolen before. Now suddenly 2 get stolen, and were bait? Who were they baiting?
No mention of this being run by police, and why would Nvidia advertise on the sides of trucks? Lots of mentions of the transport company name.
Who’s “we”? Do you live near an Nvidia facility? If not, then there’s no reason you’d be likely to see them.
KitKat managed to turn a stolen truck into a marketing campaign. I wouldn’t be surprised if NVIDIA was trying to do the same thing.
Yay, fuck this shit corporation.
But this article is stating that it was a ruse to fool the thieves unfortunately.
Well, that’s what they claim now. It might just as easily have been a ruse to fool investors.
That’s what I get for just reading the headline. :(
Don’t worry, they didn’t read the article either, since it actually says nothing of the sort.
