Well, you can recover SOME data in a lot of situations where you'd think you couldn't, that's what forensic experts are paid for. But definitely not all data. Burning a disk does leave theoretical traces of data, but the mecanics involved in actually reading them are somewhat impossible without infinite + 2 budget

@CptFox Yes burning an hard drive can leave some data in it, but he thinks he can get data from a PC that has no hard drive.

@SmartCoder you theoretically can, but it's gonna be messy and not necessarily the data you hoped for. Still, that kind of recovery is out of pretty much everyone's reach, especially once we try to go beyond theory
Just spoke with a guy who considers himself a PC expert.
He: You can always recover your offline data from your PC, even if you burn it.
Me: You just need to remove your hard drive.
He: Even if you remove your hard disk, offline data can be recovered from from RAM memory.
Me: WTF?? * Trying to explain him that RAM is a volatile memory*
He: Yeah but you can recover it from the BIOS.
Me: r u serius right now??
And I can continue, because we've unfortunately talked for about an hour.
Why these people consider themselves experts and why the fuck do they have to teach you things that the don't know. FML
