re: #208 danarchy

Most of those parts would likely have had some volatile flash based cache storage. While it is incredibly difficult to recover data from them I hear it is possible. I don’t know exactly how, but it involves freezing the parts with liquid nitrogen and then doing some magic to mount them in another machine, and then using special utilities to recover the data. It is generally done to recover stuff from DRAM, but I imagine a similar procedure could work with any volatile flash memory. Not that this has any real impact on the story, I just find it interesting.

Theoretically possible maybe, but we’re talking about thousands of documents, many megabytes (possible gigs) of data. You don’t store that in flash memory.
