"You're getting rid of [big box of hard drives and laptops]? Is that safe?"
*raises hand to emphasise the presence of a hand axe*
"I don't know what I expected"

@babe Not the laptops?! You can replace the drives with SSD assuming the laptops are in shape. Amazing how fast old kit is with SSD. Replace Windows with GhostBSD.

@sirwumpus Nah took the drives out and axed em

@babe Axed the drives, not the laptop right? Like the laptop can be repurposed with a new drive, donated, simply used for travel, emergency replacement, kid brother.

@sirwumpus Correct. Axing the laptop would be pointless

@babe it's the only way to be sure

@th @babe also kinda fun, I imagine

@PalmAndNeedle @th oh you have no idea :D

@th @babe What's the best tool for the job? Magnet, home made degauss tool, claw hammer, hand axe, sledge hammer, heavy drill, jack hammer, thermite?

@sirwumpus @th Probably drill, but I find the axe satisfying in a way the drill just doesn't match

@babe if you don't have a hand axe, you might consider a PD-5 Data Destroyer with extreme disk crushing action

@th @babe I love the user interface! Two buttons:
1. Power
2. Destroy
