@mhoye I estimate no chance all the holes hit the right chip.
There is nothing there. The PCB is unharmed πŸ™„
@jwupf it's just a sizing plate? Omgs even better 🀣
@d_rift @mhoye considering none pictured hit a single chip, I think we can assume that yeah πŸ˜…
@zbrown @mhoye yeah turns out I assumed the chips were inside the thickness I assumed the metal part had and that the side board was just a controller. πŸ™ƒ silly me.
@d_rift @mhoye you were simply demonstrating the point for us of course, all a cunning ruse!

@mhoye

This is delightful.

@mhoye @CosmicTraveler I have been known to shoot my hard drives

@mhoye

$10 says they asked an LLM how to do it...

Also the metal dust & splinter oughta do the trick when you try to power them up 🀣

@mhoye This activity seems to work better with spindle drives.
