Not magnetic per se, but I think an emp would kill it for the same

That begs the question - if the device you store your data on is not effected
by an emp what will you read it with? And how will you use the data? Every
part of our computers will be effected - destroyed.

EMPs affect more than just magnetic media. If the EMP puts a high enough
electric field across the flash cells, it can erase/write the SSD too.
Magnets won't affect SSDs. Flash memory is electric field based.

To find out everything you every wanted to know about your CPU, you can

If you look at the general pattern of linux-based netbook's, I think
they were somewhat ill-received because they tried the captive

This is correct.
EMP will kill SSD easier than even the chips or magnetic media. This is
primarily because EMP will induce a capacitive load in the floating gate of the
NAND cell; this will turn every bit in the chip to a '1'. SSD floating gate
charge is extremely small, so it doesn't take

Just because you are running a 64bit machine, that does not mean you are

Wouldn't you be better off saving your HAM radio at that point? We could

accessibility for it is a major lesson in futility. Opensuse isn't far behind
it either. I fought all day with OpenSuse to no avail. no proper accessibility
