Proper disposal of a hard drive ....
My township was having it semi-annual hazardous waste disposal day ... and I wanted to use the opportunity to do some cleaning in the basement. As you can imagine I tend to accumulate loads of electronic junk. Well, before any hard disk goes to the dump it needs to be wiped clean, personally I prefer shred with the default 25 passes. But what about those hard drives that don't work any more? There is likely still data on them even though you're disk controller can't access it ... someone else could. What to do?? Well I came up with the solution demonstrated in this video.
