Go grab your plastic wheel and turn it side to side like a big manly man honk honk

The problem is is that I severely doubt that there's anything of value on it. Have you any idea how many disks are full of banal static?

Three. Three emojis, used in headings as a bullet point.

It is perfectly plausable for someone whos job is to write technical documentation and promotional material would punch it up with a couple 'mojis.

Every single release uses the same format with the same 3 emojis. You'd know that if you'd clicked "releases" and had even a modicum of curiosity.

Motherfucker do your legs have to get your suburban up to 30 again after a red light?

I wonder if theres an argument for an automatic down-scaler after watching it for retention, but tying it to the original torrent file at the same time.

the best bit was the third time I was explaining what I had done to get a previous ban 🙃

if its encrypted at rest, it doesn't need it.

My 15 year old reddit account is gone because I said "Peter Theil should be turned into soup" three times.

Fuck 'em.

How does the removal process work? Self-administered?

So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn't be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.

I bet what you were handling wasn't -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.

Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There's all sorts of drives that shouldn't be out in the wild, out in the wild.

I'm a little surprised there isn't buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.

Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they'd be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.

I can tell you right now that not everything that goes to recycler and gets a cert even gets wiped.

Someone, somewhere said it was, therefore, the box is ticked.

And this will remain so until there isn't an economic imperative.
