I feel for you and your friend and hope they get well. But especially with mental illness, you only have so many tries at a therapy before the patient gives up on ever getting bett…

That would be a big "maybe" with at least as many interpretations as there are countries around the baltic sea. International law isn't as cut-and-dried as the usual laws within st…

Yes of course. But meanwhile, there are sibling comments spreading anecdata about how their digestion makes them more/less sad and out of the corners might come the quacks with the…

It is a completely bonkers idea without any regard for local topography. First, the coastlines marked in red have been endangered by flooding for thousands of years, they have shif…

VSCode might be the best thing since sliced bread. But for Microsoft's bottom line, it is utterly irrelevant. At best, VSC is a marketing win with a subset of the programmer popula…

Microsoft is a very talented copycat. With the added expertise (that all the other FAANG companies are sorely lacking) of how to sell to enterprise and small business users and loc…

HTML and CSS are maybe the best UI creation combo if you only ever care about visual aesthetic design. Any other aspects of what UI design is supposed to be about, ergonomics, usab…

The matter isn't the binary size of the update. It is the size of the crowd of people and parties involved in the update: For a bunch of statically linked applications, you need to…

Open them, heat treat the disks in a bonfire, use the magnets as fridge magnets (those are quite strong, can fix entire books to the fridge instead of just notes).

Both, HDD/SSD encryption in hardware and secure erase have been proven untrustworthy numerous times.

Not really. HDD recoverability is a myth, anything overwritten isn't coming back with modern HDDs. Bits can't "bleed out" anymore, density is far too high for that. The thing you n…

I think you are right in that it is quite impossible to read data that has been overwritten from a sufficiently modern HDD. But all modern HDDs retire sectors that exhibit a higher…

The only proper way of disposal is physical destruction, preferrably on site and under observation of inhouse staff. There are contractors you can hire in those: https://shredsuppl…

This is why you always want to use full disk encryption (FDE). Then it doesn't really matter whether some blocks are recoverable after TRIM. It also doesn't really matter whether t…
