  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?

    Tape drives are pretty good too. I worked at a few places where they still used them in case of disaster.

        holy shit…am I at the point in life where I’m old enough to understand why we call it “dialing” a number or a “dial tone”?
