@nixCraft Er, NIST says "Shred, Disintegrate, Pulverize, or Incinerate by burning the device in a licensed incinerator" to destroy an SSD. This is hilarious but compliance isn't *as* terrible IF the standards aren't bullshit. nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/spec

Shhh. We're busy expanding this particular idiots' mistake into a belief that all rules are inherently stupid! Don't yuck the yum!

@gibeath @nixCraft that is a load-bearing "if". Most auditors couldn't spell "NIST" if you helped them out with the first few letters. See, for example, the number of times password rotation still gets mandated...

@womble @nixCraft This is true. I have capitalized the "if" to help with weight distribution.
