Soā¦ itās only been recently (within the last 1-2 years) that Iāve really started shredding aeons old paperwork from primary school reports to medical files. Iāve been lugging around this expanda file that I donāt really use any more and finally pulled out all the paperwork today.
Itās not a huge pile by any means, but wow, you really can tell the story of someoneās life with this information. Itās kind of simultaneously cool/creepy. Itās also wild how peopleās identities can be stolen with less.
The shredder is going to get a workout.
On a funny side note, finally got around to start wiping my old computer. For something that was running WIN7 with 3 drives (donāt ask me), it was surprisingly quick.
Like better than the majority the PCs I work with. It made me wonder why I stopped using itā¦ Likely portability/outdated hardware.
Waiting it for it to finish ShredOS so I can take it to recyclingā¦ Honestly, attempting to do all the right recycling things has made realise how time consuming it is. Nothing is simple!
I still have a soft spot for that OS. On my win7 'puters, every time chrome says 'gotta update to 10+' I feel sad.
