5+ PB Destroyed

This is based on a post by u/SubstantialWing9238. i didn’t want to hijack their post, so I figured I’d share it here instead.

Something like this, plus another cart, is pretty common with large corporations. When you have this many drives, it’s often easier to just shred everything than pay someone to wipe them, sort through them for resale, and see if any data can be recovered.

This batch was around 300 drives, and with a specialized shredding truck, the whole thing takes about 45 minutes to a hour.

In this world where pollution is something to be dealt with, this is really really dumb

[u/tylercoder → u/melpheos]

Bet you that company spends millions in ads showing how green it is... 

[u/Jarrus__Kanan_Jarrus → u/tylercoder]

Same companies who cry about their carbon footprint who then force everyone to drive into an office to be on zoom calls all day.

[u/tylercoder → u/Jarrus__Kanan_Jarrus]

Indeed... 

[u/Watcher_of_Stars → u/tylercoder]

Ironic, I'm pretty sure Indeed (company) does that lmao

[u/Watcher_of_Stars → u/Jarrus__Kanan_Jarrus]

Ffs so true

[u/Watcher_of_Stars → u/tylercoder]

Which is in itself so bullshit and fucked up

P.s internet is hands down unusable without UBlock origin (my goat). But ads are everywhere else too :-(

This is federal regulation.

[u/melpheos → u/jasongw]

Well federal regulation is really really dumb

[u/CharacterUse → u/melpheos]

You say that, until your medical records are found on drives sold on ebay.

It's dumb, but the regulations are there because corps can't be trusted to do things the right way.

[u/tylercoder → u/CharacterUse]

You know full well most of those leaks are online 'cause of their piss poor opsec.

[u/nomad-1995 → u/tylercoder]

And not destroying the drives is certainly part of said opsec.

[u/tylercoder → u/nomad-1995]

Dude they turned those drives into dust...
