You cannot trust any complex hardware that you own. As mentioned in another thread, motherboards manufactured in China and destined for large US company computers have been reported to hold small ‘spy’ chips. This is simply copying what the US has been doing for years - as Edward Snowden pointed out.
The fact that we are effectively a colony of the US is shown by our prime minister’s announcement that he’ll consider moving Australia’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem - just a week or two after the US president opened their new embassy in Jerusalem. (It’s not apartheid if friends are doing it.)
Back to the hardware front, anything you connect to the Internet can be mined for data. I suspect we are only now realising why the US government allowed the Internet to be ‘privatised’ - to the cost of us all.
