Me too, some of my company's physical media gets retained there. They have a bunch of old celluloid prints from ancient movies they store there because it's the ultimate in stable environments.

I think the had a fire a bit ago though.

They used to use the flooded portions of the mine to assist on cooling the systems but they’ve actually raised the entire temperature of the water and mountain lol

The article says there are 600 workers in Boyers. Where did you come up with the other 599,400 jobs?
