Yes, but you cant say that taking a 25-pound sledge hammer and giving your defunct entertainment device a worthy sendoff by reducing it to powder doesnt feel good.Abandon4093 said:err...

After all, they cant mine anything if the major working components of your console are in a hundred teeny little pieces and scattered throughout the scrapyard/dump/landfill/river/lake/sewer.
After all, i find taking things apart to be much easier than putting things together.
I just thought I'd point that out considering your first post.

You could smash other peoples consoles, but to avoid vandalism charges i think you should obtain permission first.Abandon4093 said:Still a pretty contrasting message.gigastar said:Yes, but you cant say that taking a 25-pound sledge hammer and giving your defunct entertainment device a worthy sendoff by reducing it to powder doesnt feel good.Abandon4093 said:err...

But what i originally meant is that you got nothing to worry about if you got nothing to hide, but if you dont like potential loose ends then by all means give your console a viking funeral.
and I'd rather get a bit of money for my old consoles.
I can always just smash someone else's right? With this news I could even say I'm doing them a favour.

Throw a "terrorist" somewhere in the mix and it suddenly becomes legal. By sheer coincidence our definition on terrorist is getting larger all the time.Risingblade said:Wait isn't hacking consoles illegal or something?
Yes, imagine a safer and more transparent world. it would be the end of humanity. If you got something to hide, maybe you shouldnt be doing it in the first place to begin with.Zen Toombs said:Privacy is a thing, and to violate privacy has disastrous consequences and implications.
