alt Hacker News> Any enterprise company should have a policy ensuring SSD destruction.
Counterpoint: enterprises shouldn't be incentivized to produce physical waste containing toxic components that are virtually only available from supply chains that abuse human rights and cause mass ecological devastation.
this idea that we should just shred perfectly working components because an asshole in a suit doesn't understand FDE (or just... wiping the drive) is bad for everybody in the log run.
Ok.
The alternative is corporations just trash the entire laptop. With the rise of soldered ssds( Apple for one) this is possible.
Maybe argue for better recycling ?
It only takes one half awake IT guy to forget to wipe a few drives to spook companies.
In my world if MegaCorp offloads used laptops to a non profit, and the non profit just has to throw in a cheap SSD, that's a win.
