If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

That’s what I’m always most paranoid about - buying storage and having some bad actor insert malicious code through unusual means.

I mean, technically, you can always use hardware, even if it’s been bombed to shit with malware. Just never connect it to any sort of network, never transfer files from that PC with bidirectional channels and never use that PC’s hardware anywhere else.

Twitch, but that comes with its own problems.
