As far as I remember PG does not recommend any hardware aside of some particular phones (and I think I understand why) so I wanted to ask: what hardware (from the last 3 years at least) should I avoid? I was thinking in some simple advices, like hardware that is known for having some kind of telemetry/spyware (like those .exe files that are installed when the hardware detects that you are using Windows and runs it) or any other kind of privacy-related problems (maybe they ping some server when turned on, bypassing the OS firewall?).
Maybe there is a list out there for this that someone can provide, and if not, I think that there could be one for “what to avoid” when the opposite is not possible, at least for beginners. I’m interested in PC/Laptops right now, but it would be useful to know what other devices (brand, model, year) are known to spy on you by design, to avoid them entirely.
