In a bizarre twist of tech smuggling, a man was caught attempting to cross the border from Macau to China with a whopping 306 Central Processing Units (CPUs) strapped to his body. Yes, you heard it right, 306 CPUs! Now that’s what you call a walking, talking motherboard.
A High-Tech Heist
The man in question was stopped by customs officials as he tried to make his way across the border. Upon inspection, the officials discovered a total of 306 CPUs taped to his body. The CPUs, which were hidden under his clothes, were arranged in a manner that resembled a high-tech girdle.
CPUs – The New Contraband?
The incident raises questions about the lengths to which people will go to smuggle tech components. It’s not every day you hear about someone turning themselves into a human motherboard! The CPUs in question were Intel i7 10700 and i9 10900K models, which are highly sought-after in the tech market.
The Smuggler’s Fate
The man was detained and the CPUs were confiscated by the authorities. It’s unclear what charges he will face, but it’s safe to say he won’t be smuggling anything else anytime soon.
To end on a lighter note, it seems this man took the term "wearable tech" a bit too literally. Next time, maybe he should stick to smartwatches and fitness trackers!
