Not really a contrary insight, but viewpoint perhaps: Depends on if and how someone might be targeted. For example, shipments with your name on them can be reliably and surreptitiously intercepted and modified, whereas the possibility of second hand hardware bought in person with no advance notice being compromised at the hardware level (i.e. a drive format won't fix it) is relatively slim. -- - don't top post Mailing list etiquette: - trim quoted reply to only relevant portions - when possible, copy and paste text instead of screenshots -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
