hello everyone, I have a question that might turn out to be even stupid but I can’t find an answer, I am approaching the world of privacy and anonymity, the question is, even if I have an old laptop where previously there was windows and no methods were used to protect the identity is the pc still considered valid? because if the mac address is unique and I had linked my accounts to the pc, the address is also associated with my person and always will be, is there any way to sanitize this problem or would it be better to buy a new pc and start from scratch?
Android can do this by default, no need to significantly increase attack surface by loading third-party code with elevated privileges. GrapheneOS, probably the most private and secure mobile OS out there even has per-connection randomization, the strongest form of MAC address randomization, built in and enabled by default for all networks.
woah, had no idea. i think i thought this bc im running miui rn and its not exactly… the most private OS.
