What’s the bet the software they downloaded is malware and it’s crypto mining?

What in the fuck is this idiot doing? I've process datasets far larger than that and never once have I run into a hard drive "overheat". I mean what level of incompetence do you have to have to get a hard drive to overheat processing a measley 60K rows of data?

Technically they could have had been using a computer without any temperature sensors or fans and each row was actually a 1GB file.

And also they had a hairdryer pointed the the drive.

It's possible!

The trick is to take the hard drive out of the EVA foam.
