Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data so that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? - eviltoast

So I learned that if a MicroSD card gets snapped in half, its unrecoverable.

Okay, so suppose you were in war, and enemy soldiers were about to raid you. You just snap the cards in half and the data is un-recoverable, right?

    So I probably shouldn’t store my MacOS time machine backups on a 250GB microSD card? (It was the only practical thing I had when I started it and I never got around to changing it)

      I don’t know how MacOS time machine works exactly, but if it constantly writes on the SD card you should consider changing to an external SSD or HDD. The best backup isn’t helpful if your backup medium dies.
