I know at least one FAANG company that had (has? don’t know) a policy of not using any hardware that was ever used in travel to China. If you had to go there on a business trip, you got a loaner laptop (and got your account severely restricted) and when you got back they wiped and discarded the laptop.
Tech, military, politics, banking, a lot of industry and business sectors treat China like that. That cuntry is a fucking black hole for anything regarding security, privacy or fucking freedom. You have to take precautions like that. If you don’t you’re an idiot.
Cause environment. Multiple the waste of burner phones (which are also terrible if you only use them for a few calls) also the burner laptop wouldn’t cost much less than a shitty Chromebook, possibly the same thing.
Dude it’s a joke… obviously this isn’t economical or environmental sound. I’m just tired of wading into these kind of debates every time I comment on a fucking meme post.
I mean we have burner phones. Why not burner laptops?

Because it wouldn’t really help anything if you still use the same internet connection.
That’s why I always buy a plane ticket to another country before I browse. You think I’m using a VPN? That’s cute.

To be fair, I also didn’t consider it to be a joke. I didn’t read any hint at sarcasm
In a meme community… When the literal last panel of the meme said “use a new laptop every time you browse the internet”…
You REALLY couldn’t figure it out? 😒
This isn’t Reddit, Chief.
You seem to have me confused with someone who gives a fuck about your opinion 🤣🖕
That’s not an opinion. We are literally not on reddit.com . Do you… do you think we are?
Aw😕
There is a time and a place for that conversation, but it’s not in the comment section of a SpongeBob meme about nerdy computer settings.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got this truckload of car batteries I need to throw into the ocean
I wan’t sarcastic or anything haha, just kinda sad.
All good my friend. It’s a sad topic and that’s understandable. Cheers friend 🍻
