>>108788482But I do
>>108788473I've read they will absolutely go through your files cause people just do that for fun apparently, anyways you can just encrypt the drive
>>108788525The screen is broken so how would I encrypt the drive
>>108788473Yes
>>108788582Just take it out you retard
>>108788473If you have to ask then you should assume they can. Even if you do have encryption set up securely, most places will ask for your password so they can test everything and might not accept it for repair if you refuse.Unless it's something wildly and blatantly illegal, they won't give a fuck.
That's the first thing they look for
>>108788623>encryption set up securelywhat
>>108788473anime women owe me sex
>>108788880yes
>>108788880We don't owe you anything.
>>108788770I can't tell whether you don't understand what encryption is (in which case you should fall back to my "if you have to ask") or if you know exactly what it is and you suspect I don't (in which case, by "encryption set up securely" I mean something like "audited FDE system enabled with a strong password and good choice of KDF, and no sensitive data has ever been written to the disk prior to enabling FDE, and neither sensitive data nor the key is present in memory when the machine is handed over, and you aren't using some basic bitch cloud backup service that defeats the whole point").
>>108788473Strip out the HDD then give them a bootable flashdrive with a lightweight Linux distribution like Puppy Linux. That's all they need.
>>108788473>If I bring my laptop in to be fixed will they know the porn I look at?Of course not. You don't need to bring your laptop in to be fixed for them to know the porn you look at."They" already know all the porn you look at. Not the "they" at whatever place you'd bring your laptop to. I'm referring to the other "they".
>>108790763I'm sure they appreciate all the good recs
>>108790779This not an anti-AI thread. You can relax for a moment.
>>108790779>freudian slipWhy are you arguing with yourself?
>>108788582SSH
>>108788582Remove the drive, if you can. Otherwise, do you have a monitor or TV laying around? If so, try to connect the laptop to one of those and see if you can get a display output.If you succeed, if you're a Windows user, VeraCrypt is open-sores and you can do in-place full-disk encryption without wiping your drive.
>>108788473If you have to ask, then yes.
>>108788947you aren't an anime girl throughbeit
>>108788525>I've read they will absolutely go through your files cause people just do that for fun apparentlyI worked at geek squad when I was much younger and most people there (me included) did this
>>108788473I look like that
>>108788473She's literally just like me!
>>108795538>>108795678white boys are here
>>108788473Every single person I know that does repairs will go through your drive if they see it's unencrypted.
of course but who cares you can't fix it yourself? just watch some youtube whatis even broken on it
>>108788473If you aren't able to fix it yourself then maybe you shouldn't have one.
>>108788473>he doesn't do full disk encryption with LUKSWhat the fuck happened to /g/? Where do you newfags even come from? Lurk 2000 years before posting.
>>108798946>What the fuck happened to /g/?We don't store cheese pizza anymore.Or ever, for that matter.
>not fixing it yourselfgo back
>>108799028>nothing to hide argumentKill yourself.
>>108799057That's how that works.
>>108788473cute scootsI wonder what is the male version of thisWhere girls just see it and melt from the kawaiiI want to be the super handsome boy style of this
i just treat computers as consumables for this reason. i dont have anything illegal to hide either but that doesnt mean i want people to see inside my head
>>108799028>anymoreNice freudian slip you subhuman nigger.
>>108799395>>108798946
>>108799475Yeah that's great go jerk off to your CP stash nigger.
