If you can reach it. I've seen hotel TVs mounted in furniture that prevented access without tools.

What are you planning on playing it on? Hotel TVs are often locked to their cable boxes, or have the TVs in frames. I'd probably just use a laptop.

Or do vacation things. I can watch TV at home.

What if I told you they're not an innocent person, they're a Nazi?

And if you refuse to fight Nazis, maybe it's because you're a Nazi yourself, hmm? Maybe we'll investigate you for that, and keep you in prison while we do. And of course we'll be investigating your friends and family to see if there are any Nazis there too.

That's the condensed version, but you get the picture. There's a lot more going on than just "here's a gun, kill them".

If you have backups and don't mind the downtime until you have it up again, go for it.

You have tested restoring those backups, though, right?

Big enough to close down a substation.

This guy was appointed by Netanyahu's opposition when they had power a few years ago. He's not quite Gestapo. He's being fired for investigating the current government.

It's "voluntary" in the sense that either you allow it or you don't get into the country.

What technology, slave labor? We already have that.

The problem is the form factor. They're broad, flat batteries under the floor of the car, because that's the most available space when you take out the drivetrain. If you wanted to make them swappable, you'd have to sacrifice the space under the hood or the trunk. Or the passenger space. And all that comes with their own safety concerns.

Some other comments mention shattering platters, but that's only true for what are typically laptop drives. Most full-size drives are full metal and bend and break into a few large pieces, not really shatter like glass.

Anything that will physically disable them will work. They make bending jigs, but you could also just use a sledgehammer, or prop them up at an angle and drive over them. Drill a few holes, at least one through the head assembly. Or take them to the range and put some bullet holes in them. They definitely won't spin up after that.

Both, actually.
