Never happened. The chip Bloomberg pictured wasn’t what they claimed, was never found on any production servers, and the claim was entirely a HOAX that could not have been done the way the idiotic author of the article claimed it was done, as such a thing would have stood out like a HUGE SORE THUMB in Quality Assurance on the US Designed board. You don’t just add a spurious IC to a six level server logic board without completely re-designing the board’s traces and layout. It can’t be done. Not a single bogus board with a spurious IC was ever found. . . And the so-called spurious IC pictured was a standard component found on many logic boards.
The claims that Apple, Amazon, and other buyers of the servers had cancelled orders was also bogus. Didn’t happen. In fact, Amazon increased orders and is still using these servers.
No I Don’t remember it.
I want to believe you, I really do. We’re living in a delicate time right now. Just a few years ago, Andrew Breitbart was yelling for people to get their smartphones in the air and capture the moment to share as proof. He of course didn’t live long enough to understand the ramifications of deep fakes.
Can you provide a link or two that convinced you that the Bloomberg story was wrong? I really don’t trust places like The Verve and such.
This is quite a claim against Bloomberg, which as far as I know, has not published a correction or retraction. We’re on the same team, my friend. I just want to know what you know.
