No that's the beauty of it! Keep that shit frozen!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2698622


Good luck when it thaws out.

Just hope and pray your battery doesn't explode when it freezes, it likely won't survive thawing out anyway.

As everything thaws out, water will build up on all copper connections causing corrosion, providing the huge amount of water that will be in it doesn't just destroy it entirely.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60095463


And a little water is worse than what's incoming? I spilled coffee on my shit many of times and it's fine. Like I said mine going in tonight!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2698622


Yes, if you didn't know, water happens to be conductive and cause corrosion to internal components.

Yes, water is vastly more destructive to electronics than electromagnetic interference.

If it doesn't literally COOK YOU, it probably won't harm your small electronics. Things need to function as a LARGE antenna before these sort of effects allow enough current to be delivered through induction.

Trust me, you are freaking out over literally nothing and causing others to likely destroy their electronics for no reason what so ever due to a lack of education regarding the topic.

If a hard drive crashes, sometimes putting in the freezer for an hour will allow it to work just long enough to get some of your data back.

Pour a cup of water, place ice in it. Sit it outside during a hot day.

See the droplets of water on the outside of the glass? That's condensation. This is what will happen inside of your computer after you remove it from the freezer.

Yes, this is quite true. I have done it myself.

But once it reaches normal operating temp, the hard drive is toast.

So putting a fully working hard drive in the freezer, in order to protect it from an EMP... is just dumb.

All the sheep running round with fear and rage
As I pull out my electronics from my faraday cage

I use my ham radio to get in touch with Uncle Joe
Only to find out his intel says Yellowstone gonna blow

So now we're doing with no economy, transportation, or power
And if Uncle Joe is right, here comes the ash and lava shower

But as i say goodbye I look up and see a huge star
Here comes Planet X, so it's a good thing i'm a doomtard

Funny how when things were good, we still thought they were crazy harsh
Then came the Russian nukes which was followed by the carsh

When i talk about the old days, the kids all think I'm lying
They ask "how we could be this dumb, didn't anyone have a brian?"

Actually no, I'd rather you found a method for protecting your electronics that didn't involve purposely causing people to destroy theirs.

Buy some static shielding bags. It's a hell of a lot more likely to protect electronics than a freezer which isn't even going to shield your stuff. Stick a wireless phone in the freezer and call your home phone. You'll see what I'm talking about.

It's an X1.6 flare dude...

There's not even much threat at an X20 flare. It takes hitting X30+ before shit starts going south. And even then, small electronics will be unaffected, only large things will be impacted in any noticeable degree.

I suggest you calm down and learn about the topic.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60095463


You should learn how these CME's cause damage and then you will fully understand the concern.

Trust me, it is not about impact, it is about how far the Earths magnetic field is pulled and then collapse.

When the 2 CME's line up, it creates a long pull on the magnetic field and the plasma vacuum behind the two allows the magnetic field to collapse rapidly.

I am not endorsing doom, but you should at least know what you are posting about.
