If you think you can do it bro, but I’ve been in the industry long enough to know where this shit goes and it ain’t to second hand use. You’re ignoring so many aspects beyond just the firmware, I mentioned the infrastructure as well. A single Blackwell 2u draws 14.3Kw you’re not installing that in your fuckin’ home.

No one said it had to go in someone’s home. Would it not be peossible if they were able to be acquired second hand, to find use by someone that wasn’t the original buyer?

Alright, sure buddy. You’ve got a 14.3Kw hookup (per 2U sever blade) and a glycol loop at your small business… These data centers operate at scales beyond the level of normal people or businesses. It’ll end up ewaste or I’ll eat my shoe, I’ve seen it time and time again with university super clusters and these are no different.

I don’t really understand the hostility. I just asked you a question and rather than an explanation you answer with this and downvote. I guess that was my mistake for giving you the benefit of the doubt.
