      I'd really like to build a small forge and melt the platters. Still don't know what to do with the flash bits tho.

      They are basically coated glass, just break them?

      For the platters sure, but what about the newfangled silicon only storage?

      when you put a bunch of stuff into a forge to melt it and there's some unwanted crap it's called dross or slag

      burn it all and let gravity sort it out 😄

        Shredder. That is what I do with my drives. The service that shreds the paper for one of my clients accepts drives.

          Should be a data destruction company near you - give them a ring.

          We pay $3CDN/drive and receive a certificate of destruction with the serial number and date.

            I need to switch to a shredder that does this.

            They will shred tapes, but apparently a client put platters (or drives) in once and their truck caught on fire. So they now forbid it.

              The service my client uses specifies that the HDD shredding has to be first or last stop of the day do to fire concerns.

                          Winding my way through upgrading everyone here to SSDs and Windows 10 before the deadline. Decided to wait until the last two weeks like the procrastinator I am.

                          Going swimmingly so far. Not one comment. Everyone is like ... what is different, oh and I LOVE these pictures!

                            I wish I had users who wanted Win 10. We have like 1 machine for testing, that's it. Our devs (and management) are convinced that 7 is the greatest OS of all time (or the only one that will work with our dev environment).

                              We are pretty much all over to Windows 10, have been for most of a year now. Some machines made the tradition like ten months ago.

                                I think a good portion of us were on 10 during the first week or 2 of beta.

                                  We're moving all of our labs to 10 and all new machines deployed to users are 10. We're hoping to be all Windows 10 by next summer.

                                    In the office I only have 1 windows 10 system (excluding tablets) and it's a VM.

                                    I've been using it for a very long time, the powers that be are afraid to upgrade for some reason. Yet there is no reason to have this fear, we are a Microsoft business, word and power point are the bread and butter.

                                    If those don't work on Windows 10, well *&%$ I guess Microsoft better fix that....

                                      Yup, I was actually one of the last because I waited for a new laptop rather than migrating the old. And I went over on my secondary laptop in December.

                                        I actually like it.

                                        And the upgrade (I went with upgrading no clean install) has been flawless so far. I am actually pretty impressed.

                                          I have it in a dual boot with 7 on my desktop at work. I would be using it completely if my intel dual NIC had a driver that would let me team again... 😕 So, an intel problem, not MS...

                                            So I was reading this article about hyper-v which stated:
                                            "Hyper-V supports both emulated and Hyper-V-specific devices for Linux and FreeBSD virtual machines."

                                            Now, does Hyper-V specific devices mean proprietary devices or does that mean anything running Hyper-V? Is this the best choice if I want to run both Linux and Windows VM's?
