Nothing beats a hydraulic press for (s)IoT's [1] and all other electronics. Make it thin as paper then feed strips of it into a blender, pour the resulting dust into a batch of clay and make a IoT phallic statue with a placard "My Sensitive Data" for a viral TikTok video. One less thing in a landfill.

Is this process supposed to be less environmentally damaging than sending a device to landfill?
Yes. About 5 cents of electricity varies by location without solar or amortized cost using inverters and solar with the bonus one can have a garden full of phallic statues. Everyone should write to their government leaders to encourage renewable energy in their state or province. People into DIY projects can get some tips on installing their own solar from Will Prowse [1] also a member of HN.
