laughs nervously in hoarded ewaste
Edit: my problem is stuff that packed it in before I could do a hard reset or wipe the memory in any meaningful way. How much of mine and my kids personal info is still on there. Probably irrational worry.
pull the hard disk and shove it somewhere. The rest of the computer is just bits and bobs
Not me thinking that said hoarded estate instead of ewaste.
I don't think that's necessarily irrational. You can just drill straight through it to kill it. We used to do it an old job i was at.
I'd be worried about drilling through the battery 🫣💥 I suppose I can google about the innards of each device and drill accordingly. Generally speaking, what's the best part to drill through on something like a laptop?
If you like, tell me the model of the laptop and I'll send you a diagram of either where to drill, or exactly how to get the hard drive out:)
You can usually take the hard drive out
