    60k isn’t that much, I frequently run scripts against multiple hundreds of thousands at work. Wtf is he doing? Did he duplicate the government database onto his 2015 MacBook Air?

      A TI-86 can query 60k rows without breaking a sweat.

      If his hard drive overheated from that, he is doing something very wrong, very unhygienic, or both.

      Seriously - I can parse multiple tables of 5+ million row each… in EXCEL… on a 10 year old desktop and not have the fan even speed up. Even the legacy Access database I work with handles multiple million+ row tables better than that.

      Sounds like the kid was running his AI hamsters too hard and they died of exhaustion.
