Indestructible SD cards - help me destroy them


Recommended Posts

Note: I almost forgot, they are Samsung microSD cards rated as "waterproof, shockproof and magnet-proof"

*raises eyebrow*

Wouldn't this apply to all MicroSD cards? No moving parts should ensure they are shock proof. The lack of a magnetic storage medium should ensure they are all magnet-proof. As long as they aren't wet while on I would assume they are all waterproof as well...

Yeah you're right. Which is why it'll test it against a normal SD card.

Also, the shockproof image shows someone stepping on it, and the casing appears to be metal from looking at it through the packaging

Copy some pron on to it, freeze it in to an icecube and then add it to a glass of whiskey/port/tipple of choice

Then you can say you are enjoying a glass of classy pron whilst testing the card, but don't swallow it :D

you could also test it in ways that might actually happen irl, drive over it, step on it, leave it overnight outside in the rain.

Throw it from a second/third floor window

Shoot it with a bow/gun/catapult (shoot it from a catapult)

Of course, do the standard test of running it through the washing machine in a real world situation. Put it in a pocket in a pair of pants and wash them with other clothes, do the whole thing, wash, and dry. Don't use the anti-static dryer sheets, let that build up too.

Put it into a system like OSX which hates to have drives unmounted w/o ejecting first. I think I nuked a SD drive from my camera a couple of weeks ago, but thinking it was ejected, forgetting it wasn't and removing it. It failed to read permanently.

'Cook" it under the hood of your car by taking it on a road trip taped to a hot area.

Give it to a little kid to play with for a while (HIGHLY SUPERVISED), let them draw all over it, paint it, drool over it etc...

Nuke from orbit ftw.

or yeah..im willing to bet the introduction of the 'hammer' element to said "indestructible" Card would do the trick. Failing that,line a baking tray with foil...set grill to max....remove when card is liquid.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
    • They should show the onedrive recycle bin in a searchable manner and on app not just on the website
    • You looking at a phone or something? On my 4K HDR monitor it is frikking spectacular.
