Someone really needs to dub the Ducktales theme song over this, because it would be perfect.

Dang, that truck just barely didn't make it across. It looks like the two front wheels were actually across the break point.


Bad luck, friend.

A quick google and the truck driver wasn't reported dead so he might of actually survived.

Storing things to SSDs currently renders forensic data recovery essentially impossible without being suspicious in the least, however.

It kind-of does, kind-of doesn’t at all.

When a SSD is erased, there is no residual left (unlike HDDs, hence why people overwrite data a number of times).

Unlike HDDs, though, SSDs will lie, and claim to have deleted data when it hasn’t, because deleting is an expensive operation. It will also do write leveling, which means that if you overwrite a file, the data is still on the SSD - it wrote the new data in a new place and marked the old for removal. HDDs do similar remapping of bad sectors, but this is much rarer.

SSD's also have a limited amount of read/write operations they can do before the NAND life span runs out, so it makes sense from the perspective of engineering SSD's for longevity that you'd take advantage of free space and just mark old data for deletion instead of burning a write operation to erase it.

And when you erase a SSD, you don't want to just run DBAN on it like you would a hard drive, because filling it with crap over and over is unnecessary wear and might not actually overwrite every bit. Each SSD maker has a software package- Samsung Magician, Intel SSD Toolbox, OCZ Toolbox, etc. and these all have a secure erase ability that uses the SSD's firmware to make sure it's all destroyed.

There was a study of those drive utilities that showed the majority of them don’t work. Some of them did literally nothing.

If you want neutral water—and neutral is the same as ground, according to the guy who wired my domicile (:rolleyes:)—get Evian or Fiji water.

Somebody tweeting about the tear gas in HK pointed out this article about the place that makes it.

quote:

Employees described aging equipment that caught fire and injuries and severe irritation caused by working long hours with chemicals. After one of its buildings burned down, the company declined to rebuild the facility, instead shifting more of the production into shipping containers.

Reminded me a little of the "decommissioning used fireworks in a cave" video.

I had somehow blocked out the part where they were just storing black powder loose in trash bags. How the CSB video refrained from asking, "Can you believe this poo poo?" is a testament to their professionalism.

I wonder if the static of the bags would be enough to potentially ignite the power, like in that video with the cotton rolls a few pages back.

The CSB conclusion was that there were so many ways this could have exploded that it was fruitless trying to figure out which one specifically was the one that happened.

I mean, if you get ordered to hand your data over and then, oh no, it's gone! That's kinda destruction of evidence. But, I wouldn't think "I am throwing away an old hard drive and wanna get my personal information off" as suspicious.

Yeah, if you're supposed to be destroying data then it's fine.
