Hard drives do get hot and need some cooling but not at 60k rows. Its either made up or their computer case is made of thermal cladding

You could query 60,000 rows on a low tier smart phone. Makes no sense at all.

Can we think of any device someone might have that would struggle with 60k? Certainly an ESP32 chip could handle it fine, so most IoT devices would work...

Right? There's no part of that xeet that makes any real sense coming from a "data engineer."

Terrifying, really.
