I’m picturing a long 50’ aisle filled with racks and a guy with a huge box marked “replacement CPUs” and a screwdriver.

Good lord, can you imagine how long just a few of those would take in a data center?

I remember coming to work one morning and having staff at two tables with boxes of RSA keys, and swapping everyones...

(they replaced 40 million of those things..)

The old every CPU is sacred idea lives on.
