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?
You can wipe the entire partition and install the OS, that would remove any potential spyware/malware, but someone dedicated enough might have a hardware keylogger hidden on the motherboard. Probably not a big deal if all you’re doing on that device is just gaming and you don’t type your password to log in (some services have passkey and/or log in by tapping a link/notification on other devices nowadays)
