Can I drop the CPU Pillow?

mradelet

I'm getting some misleading advertising here. The official store page says "Drop tested", but when I received my pillow it says Do Not Drop.

It has been drop tested to not be drop-able™

I have done drop testing as a job, some things should not be dropped but you still have to drop test them.

A pillow you can buy from the LTT store.

So if this is a Throw Pillow, then why does the instructions say do not Drop? It is a pillow.

It's suppose to be a joke cause Linus is notorious for dropping high priced items/computer components.

I need to see the WHMIS report for these drop tests. What happens if I drop it? Does it explode? Leak gas? Start corroding anything it touches?

 

What if my dog knocks it off the couch?

This seems very much like.....a bug in the CPU instruction-set.

I have dropped a pentium 4 and it survived... However I believe that such a powerful, fast CPU (that pillow has thousands of threads, whether fabric or otherwise) should not be dropped from a distance of over 0.1 meters.
