This is the motherboard ONLY we are talking about here? All devices such as drives have been removed?
If you decide to destroy the mainboard (because data is *so* sensitive, you should destroy everything. The GPU/PCI cards have also non-volatile parts (by the way this is scary, under some circumstances with radeon driver while experimenting with wayland for about a second I get small tiles from parts of the screen from reboots ago). Also nobody guarantees that there is nowhere some hidden chip in some part (e.g inside keyboard/mouse tiny key-logger for passwords or in the monitor screen capture). Absolute security can never be guaranteed. Regards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
