  I remember when offline backups that were unaffected by EMP were everywhere.

  They called them books.

    Out of curiosity what the range and/or power for an EMP pulse to brick my microSD with Zim files on it?

    Wondering what’s the actual risk of such a thing happening, what kind of scenarii would this require?
