Posted this on the birdcage a while back. Just wanted to have it here. Oh, and for any that doubt the reliability of this method, I could pour out the glass substrate (platter completely bent), thousands of tiny shards. Gone baby gone

@JulianOliver I wonder if you couldn't make some sort of "Artisinal data erasure service" out of this. Like folks send you a drive. You shoot it with arrows & photograph results (including serial numbers) and they can show off to boss / coworkers that they did it.

Might be an entertaining little side-stream of money with good word of mouth. :D

@masukomi @JulianOliver Imho, you either offer tools for the pleasure of doing this themselves, or you get one of these to offer warranty of destruction. 😁
@Wildduck @masukomi @JulianOliver Well, one way to test the warranty of destruction of that is to drop a computer's C:\ drive into that and then take the remains of it to your local FBI Field Office, and tell them that you managed to recover this and it has a lot of import intel on it from someone who is working with a far-right group to overthrow the U.S. Government to install a dictator, and it also contains plans for major terrorist attacks against the U.S., to see what they would do with it.
@ShingoMouse @Wildduck @JulianOliver I don’t see how that would help. They already know about Trump supporters.
@ShingoMouse @Wildduck @JulianOliver ...seeing this again, i realize it may not have been clear that my response was an attempt at humor. πŸ€”
@masukomi @ShingoMouse @JulianOliver Don't overthink this haha, it was implied in the mouse toot but we got it. 😁
