A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

If I had that sort of threat model and let the government get their hands on my computer, I would never trust the hardware again. Too many components with their own SoCs containing firmware blobs where an exploit could lurk and reinfect even after a 'nuke.' GPUs, disk controllers, WiFi chips, etc.
Good thinking, shoot it with a 12ga slug.
but seriously, time and sense are a factor there. A few seconds? In front of me? I'd waver that action under a few conditions.
Wipe and resell on local buy/sell/trade. They will monitor someone else. Otherwise, put it on a separate subnet and use a bot to reshare every scrap of social media it can touch.
