And is “mew” just making a cat noise or something more?
I thought that it became MANGA when it changed from FAANG?
It explains that it means “fan failure”.
And there was a link to a video of it happening.

But you’re not allowed to proceed in life until you’ve pressed any key!
Maybe so. But it did process duplicity backups every week for hundreds of Gb, so it did a fair amount of work even though not constantly active.
