give it to me str8 niggas
how do I 100% know for sure my pc isn't compromised?
obviously I already tried some suggestions made by AI, but I don't know if it's enough

All devices are effectively compromised, they are all by a vendor and that vendor ultimately has the decision to backdoor it and ad a rouge chip.
>>
>>109537515
yeah but I mean by a random dude
>>
>>109537455
every device is 100% compromised by design
>>
>>109537455
Even if you compile everything and all firmware and inspect all hardware and compile your compiler for hand before bootstrap compilation, you would never be certain it's not compromised.

In theeory, you cannot.
Practically, you are nobody. The worst malware you get is some njrat or seroxen shit.
>>
You don't. That's the exciting part!!!!
>>
>>109537455
going for 99%: install linux and coreboot.
>>
>>109537525
>yeah but I mean by a random dude
Clean installation of Windows will do the trick.
Don't do thinks like disabling secure boot and disabling updates.
And don't pirate exes. A very known way to get got.

impossible

I am starting to hate firefox's dictionary suggestions.

>>109537555
99.9%: this but on old amd processor without psp
>>
>>109537455
cryptographically format all storage drives, wipe UEFI, reinstall an operating system other than windows from clean installation media
enable secure boot and full disk encryption, do not use TPM
>>
>>109537455
no way to be truly 100% sure unless you format it and completely start fresh
even that isn't 100% sure, as malware can hide in your mobo in various places, but that's pretty rare so formatting is usually good enough
>>
>>109537455
reinstall your operating system
>>
>>109537455
Install gentoo (unironically) and use a firewall with deep packet inspection, that passively feeds its logs to your own local model. Also faraday cage your system for hidden sim chips and bluetooth mesh doing OTA "updates"
