This reminds me of the old bash.org post where the guy says he writes data to his drives with magnetised needles and a steady hand.

Is this one of those stock pictures like a person holding a soldering iron like a pencil?

I hope so. Unless it’s a hazing thing, like fetch me 20 skyhooks from the van…

I can 100% see some corporate drone think that is what threat actors do if the come across a random HDD and want to pull the data off it or even some “data recovery specialist” for when a drive dies.

This might be such a dumb question, but technically if you have something like a microscope. Would u be able to see the data on a HHD which is written into it?

I think the data is stored magnetically. So, I wouldn’t think so. Maybe though lol

On a CD you definitely can. But HDDs store it magnetically.

Create post

Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain “hmmm” and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to “hmmmm” etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won’t be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
