It's just America what do you expect

Omg that is so weird

and horse porn only dont try it with goatsex all hell breaks loose

I'd recommend Acronis if you really want to be safe, as it even has up to 33 passes I believe.

That wipes the free space, if you want a total wipe with removal of the OS and everything else you'd probably want something like DBAN nuke software (yes I know the N stands for nuke)

MarioDragon I use DBAN every time I work on a computer that requires a new OS or a OS reinstall

Your computer generates a black hole.

Impossible.

A paradox in spacetime. Delete will be deleted and therefore could not delete itself, fixed point in time.

Controversy Owl actually delete cannot be delete do to how Hard drives work in the first place, they don't delete the are, they just register the address as open so you can overwrite it

You haven't met me if you think that's wrong.

yea no one deletes their porn.

Haha you're probably not.

***** who downloads porn anyways

***** They incognito, *cough* sorry, use porn mode in Chrome though.

I'm a modern day porn enthusiast. I store my porn in the Cloud.

Do get your words correct You mean HDD AND SSD

Thumbs up :)

No

for a quick orgasm press 5

From my understanding, overwriting all bits with 0 will still leave magnetic trace that can be read. To confuse the hardware, pseudorandom overwrites of 0s and 1s will allegedly mask that.

It works much better with those monster or neodyium earth magnets

+TOG WAM those would crumble it, so yeah

Unfortunately, there is a very good chance that even the strongest permanent magnet would do very little to the data on a hard drive. Most permanent magnets (even the really strong ones) have a coercivity (resistance to magnetic chance) of only around 2000 (which is really strong by the way). Commercial degausers are usually around 4000-5000. Modern hard drives, by comparison, are usually around 5000 - 8000 coercivity. How do you even write to a drive then? Well, it all comes down to the size of the actual magnetic particles on the media. Hard drives write to microscopic sized areas, and use pretty powerful electromagnets concentrated down to that microscopic size to get the job done. Applying a very powerful field to the entire drive would likely damage some data, but I don't know you could guarantee that every single bit of data were destroyed. It's worth noting that even if you manage to wipe the magnetic data completely without destroying the drive housing, you would render the drive useless. Currents induced in the read/write head, motor coils, and rotary voice coils would likely destroy the electronics, and even if that doesn't kill it, the servo data on the drive is written at the factory, and never again, so the drive wouldn't be able to position the read/write head on the platters any more. One work around to this if you wanted to destroy the data magnetically and didn't care about the drive, is to heat the drive up before applying the magnetic field. Like, to 400 or 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This drastically reduces the coercivity of the platters, and will make it easy to destroy the data with any reasonably strong magnet.

My father caught me doing that when i was a child and panicked, happily i didnt do any mess

even easier, just put it in the microwave :-)

I don't think that Linus knows that much about electronics, it would be great though.

There's EEVblog for all your KZfaq electronics needs ;)

Gordon Freeman I agree, but he knows "enough" to be able to distinguish good components from bad ones, not to mention he was an overclocking junkie in the past.

the cake is a lie Well, it would be great to have videos about all that stuff, but you can always go to EEVblog, mikeselectricstuff and for the fun stuff go to Photonicinduction.

Has her IT guy ask Reddit how to do it.

Good god

That's what happens when you go outside. ;)

***** :P

I would love to see someone do this seriously hoping that it will help.

Doesn't do anything. the strongest magnet type you can get is already in a hard drive. magnetism affecting non CRT electronics is just a misconception

it doesn't work like that

actually, those magnets in a hard drive are specially designed so that they would not damage the hard drive, with either a piece of metal in between, of which dampens the magnetic field, or a unique pole structure, which limits the extent of it's magnetic field (two north and south poles)

you're just a sticky river :)

How about sending linus to a BSDM workshop next time? hmmm

90hijacked BDSM workshop? What is it, Design-a-dominatrix?

Slay its porn related, don't ask how I know

***** i kinda forgot, i think i was searching categories categories on pornhub, not sure though

BlackJoe23 ***** X'D ............... this entire conversation crashed at the mention of "BDSM" porn came about, ugh sometimes you wish you didn't know stuff..

You said that already, no one cares

its never gonna be deleted, even if you manage to be rid of it the isp keeps records that they dont monitor unless told to of places you visit.

1toncheese Unless you make it so that everything the ISP sees is incomprehensible gibberish.

Tokeijikaku through things like tor? so long as you dont use flash files they will just see gibberish on that and im not sure if thats a common issue with all things that make your internet usage look like nothing or just tor.

Tor is just a single application typically used over an unencrypted connection, and the Flash web plugin is a separate application that can query information about that connection without being constrained to Tor. One can, however, encrypt the entire connection, in which case Flash will be covered.

1toncheese Don't use Tor.

Wouldn't simply making a 2 tb sized txt file with only 0s whipe a 2 tb hdd?

MaxArceus Believe it or not, this is used as a common method. But the thing about it is that it takes quite a long time and you still might find residues of data. Using the above methods basically renders the data unusable the same way your technique would do and it usually takes a lot less time.

How could you find residues of data? :0
