so apparently magnets can sometimes be bad for electronics, eg they can corrupt hard drive data or damage your phone. but they’re also used all the time in electronics (one that comes to mind right now is the magnetic charging port for my phone)
In: Technology
Magnets can wipe out magnetic media (like spinning hard drives or floppy disks). So, devices which are intended for use with magnets simply…don’t use magnetic media.
Problem solved!
