    Disable automatic updates

    Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

        This is the most tech-illiterate comment I’ve ever read

        Just because you’re not “noticing any issues” doesn’t mean your system isn’t infested like a zombie’s gangrenous asshole

        Even if you’re on an isolated network, not installing any applications, and you keep your browsers up to date: you’re not receiving mitigations for hardware-based exploits (like SPECTRE and RowHammer)

        I strongly urge you to wipe that drive clean and change all your passwords if you’re using that system for anything other than the screensaver
