Drills, big magnets, hammers etc… work too

Feels like it's easier to just not have anything on your hard drive that's worth that much effort. I can only think of one type of file that would justify that level of obfuscation in most of the world, and I actually fully support owners of those files turning their PCs over to the police unmolested, so to speak

Big magnets will only pull the arm off the plates and leave the data intact. Also why waste good hardware when all it needs is a couple of writes with all zeroes and ones?

tbh I completely forgot about the context of this post. Yeah shredding takes longer than getting a warrant from a corrupt judge

Mircrowave.

Just take out anything LiON prior to nuking, and as much pure metal housing as you can.

And also plan on getting a new microwave.

And have a fire extinguisher on hand.

and do it outside and throw the microwave away so you don't die from NO2 poisoning...
