Hardware Shipment Vanishes
A shipment of Nvidia hardware, valued at $11.4 million, went missing while in transit between Oakland, California, and Fort Worth, Texas. The incident occurred after six pallets of unspecified Nvidia equipment were picked up on August 29 by a truck displaying the logo of a food transportation company.
