p sure that technique is old as hell and was developed in japan and actually makes the wood a lot more resistant to rot and weathering

SniperWoreConverse posted:p sure that technique is old as hell and was developed in japan and actually makes the wood a lot more resistant to rot and weathering Yep. I've seen it used on exterior fencing for a project involving a traditional Japanese structure and that's exactly how the craftsmen did it. Apparently bugs/termites hate the char too so it keeps them out.

It is a valid technique and the application isn't that odd but just imagine if someone had given Tom Sawyer a flamethrower.

the Char finish thing has been a bit in style over the last few years. I work for a museum/public space fabricator, I'm pretty sure we had at least two whiskey distilleries use that finishing for a bunch of stuff in the last couple years.

I have a friend who works as the shopkeeper in a crime lab which just had an incident where a lab tech who wasn't wearing PPE or using a vacuum hood opened a container of powdered fentanyl and ended up in the ICU. In other news their cybercrimes division just got new computers and can't find anyone willing to take and destroy their old hard drives.

Couldn't they DBAN them or run something similar to destroy the data? Assuming these are actual hard drives. Although I personally like the idea of putting the disks in front of a firing squad, as was already suggested.

I bought some HDDs off gumtree and they arrived with 'Marked for Queensland Police Checks' all over the case. Colour me curious but gently caress that - I DBANed them straight away.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Couldn't they DBAN them or run something similar to destroy the data? Assuming these are actual hard drives. My boss and I used to take our old HDs up to the firing range and plink at them for data destruction. Turns out that’s not quite considered fully destroyed (as in, you could theoretically still pull some data off the undamaged parts of the platters), but we DBANed everything first so whatever. The rest was mostly an excuse to go do “team building” at the range.

Throw confiscated weed and other poo poo they couldn't sell or smoke themselves, too. Industry really is on a decline.

I had an old computer hard drive and the discs were metal instead of plastic. I was just going to smash them with ahammer but it didn't work. So I brought them in to the shop at work and took a welder to them.THey melted good.

CommieGIR posted:There are shredding companies that will come to them, odd that they cant find them Yeah, this or the furnace is what they'll end up doing. The rest of the office's hard drives are going to a normal ewaste recycler (minus the one drive that actually turned out to be a floppy drive and not the hard drive). The stuff that he's able to tell us about that happens at the lab tends to be pretty interesting. The venn diagram of scientists/technicians and people willing to examine evidence from crime scenes produces a really odd group of personalities. Did you know that a lot of criminal investigative science is about to start grinding to a halt if we don't find a reliable source of helium?

At my dad's old work they used to just use a drill press. It'd be impossible to spin the platters up without them exploding, so that was considered destroyed enough.

My own OHSA adventure. Nothing like digging in a biohazard bin because simultaneously someone used it as a regular trash can and didn’t gooseneck a bunch of juicy bags of bio waste.   Juicy.

As far as I know unless the freaking NSA is after you, anything more than overwriting your drive three times is probably overkill and any vulnerability beyond that point is speculative and theoretical.

I went nuts on a drive that had copies of my SF86 on it after seven years, but that was mostly just because I wanted an excuse to go nuts on a hard drive and “it has an obscene amount of personal information on there” was a perfect for that.
