why would you buy a chromebook?aberrantlyme said:I've found the much easier solution for people who are not technical or in the field is to but a Chromebook. Inexpensive, and will provide the experience you want for your little side.
There are many options, and I currently have an ASUS Flip C434 (~$500) on the way to evaluate. There are much more inexpensive models available. I would love a Pixelbook but can't beat to pay the price tag. If anyone is interested or would like some technical advise please send me a message.
There are also great selections of refurbished laptops that would be great for this use if price is a factor ($200-300). If you would like some help, please reach out here or in Twitter. It would be my pleasure to help you out!
I'm @aberrantlyme on Twitter.
I wouldn't do anything sensitive on a shared/public computer, you have no trust/control over it or the network it's connected to.DisneyDaddy99 said:What if you're in the library or something like that? What should you do?
It does not matter what computer phone or tablet you use if you are on a private network your traffic and browsing can be watched and tracked, no computer or network is secure. I always warn people who use my network don’t go somewhere you would not want me to know about. But I’m also structured with a proxy server for antivirus proxy surfing plus massive ad blocking. Another thing to consider for privacy or less possibility of being found out is to use a private vpn proxy service. This is what I majored in in college and what I do professionally BS Computer Info Systems — Network Security/Digital ForensicsRubberJin said:Your phone is not only insecure but very much more easily lost/stolen and mined for personal data.
TAILS (link posted by Musashi) on a USB stick is highly regarded by security experts as a portable "computer-on-a-stick", or just any live USB stick Linux install - Ubuntu, Mint, Debian all have them available.
A VM doesn't offer much if any security over private browsing mode in a browser as the host can still see all the network traffic etc. and is in control. If you can't trust the host machine you can't trust a VM inside it.
If you spend time on the dark web doing dark web things. Yes cause if you get too paranoid put the USB in a washing machine then bin. Any evidence is gone. Like binge and purgeScriptedGamer said:Is having an OS on a USB, and using that OS, a way to increase privacy?
WHAT?! - Well O.K. - I guess I'm more a power user, but I use them all the time (I use VirtualBox) - mostly for running older OSes (Such as DOS [Full version[) - Testing New Linux Distros, and ReactOS (Windows Clone that seems to not be able to just install, but runs fine under VirtualBox).Preciouslitlboy said:virtual machines are used in business environments... normal users normally dont use virtual machines
Ads alone are a minor inconvenience - I'm looking some true privacy, meaning NO ONE (including the ISP you are connected to) can decipher any communications - not won't without a court order - actually can not no matter what order they get - because from a technical point of view, it can not be done, that simple. That and NO site is capable of obtaining a REAL IP address from visitors. - At least not without specific permission from the user to do so.neophyte said:I always used Incognito on my iPhone or PC.
When I DONT use incognito I always get incontinence and diaper ads where ever I go. Facebook, Weather, news.... Amazon will show me diapers under suggestions.
When I use incognito I never get ads or any indication that my cookies are being saved once I close the browser.
If you need to use Tails then you're up to more than just adult diaper talk. Stay the hell away from TOR.
Like others have said I like VMWare for nostalgia... load up WIN95 or XP
You can also use Oracle’s VirtualBox and a free OS like Linux (most AMD or Intel x86 Linux versions should work with it as long as VirtualBox is compatible with your host OS and the CPU in your machine is compatible (e.g. Intel or AMD)) as your guest OS. Support for MacOS 11 Big Sur as a host OS is not here yet, but it should be soon.neophyte said:I always used Incognito on my iPhone or PC.

True - but again, yes will work - BUT does NOT give TRUE privacy.AJFan2020 said:You can also use Oracle’s VirtualBox and a free OS like Linux (most AMD or Intel x86 Linux versions should work with it as long as VirtualBox is compatible with your host OS and the CPU in your machine is compatible (e.g. Intel or AMD)) as your guest OS.
