I bought a ROG ally gaming device (basically a windows 11 computer, it’s home page looks exactly like the desktop one on my windows laptop) and a friend asked me if I’m worried that it’s being tracked or that someone can see exactly what I’m doing on it. Is this possible? Am I stupid for not knowing that this was dangerous?
Technically yes, but realistically, no. I wouldn’t think twice of buying second hand equipment and many in the tech field would encourage it. However, if you are paranoid just reinstall the operating system. This would disable any hidden software they may have added.
