Summary

Federal employees have filed a class action lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect a server allegedly installed illegally at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by associates of Elon Musk.

The lawsuit claims the server, connected without required privacy assessments, risks exposing government employees’ data.

The server is linked to the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal workforce.

If the motion is granted, the administration’s “deferred resignation program” could be delayed.

      Not usually. Could rip off the onboard speaker and snip off all the fan headers though, that’ll take a while to figure out.

      Edit; or a syringe of liquid metal sprayed in all over the board through a vent. Not hard to sabotage a computer physically tbh
