if they use AMD that's better on linux, they don't need to know what a GPU driver is.
Same goes for Intel, unless they need to use OneAPI.

Just to freak you out, I've played around with the EC on my Framework, and it really wouldn't be hard for someone to create a modified firmware with a key logger built in or something. But AFAIK the EC doesn't have internet access or a way to screw with the OS, so it would be mildly pointless without accompanying software.
Modifying the BIOS seems slightly more difficult, although I think some Frameworks are still vulnerable to LogoFAIL.
I wouldn't worry about extra chips, they'd either be quite noticeable that they shouldn't be there, or too expensive to be wasted on a stranger.
So the chances are, unless you've got some proper enemies, it's fine. I'd definitely update the BIOS (which also updates the EC), and fresh install Windows/Linux, but that's as far as I'd go.
I've seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let's you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don't know what they're doing.
That looks to be Volcanic Islands, which has good support with amdgpu and no support by radeon, according to Wikipedia.
I'm not sure what you meant by "set up radron kernel driver", but you could maybe try blacklisting it.
I have no idea how CoW interacts with NTFS
With btrfs you can disable COW for specific files, that might give you a little performance boost.
I believe if your swap partition is on an encrypted LVM, you can still hibernate with kernel lockdown enabled.
Maybe, but also I think I was looking at the raw 'data bits', not 'binary' data. It's actually almost exactly 4GiB, even when dropping down to minimum error correction (1.7 GiB otherwise).
(1454942×2953)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈4.00
Edit: So if alphanumeric mode could store lowercase letters, base64 would've stored more.
For those wondering, when using the biggest QR code with the maximum error correction (10,208 bytes), 1,454,942 QR codes is slightly less than 14GiB, which should be more than enough for a Windows ISO.
My math: (1454942×10208)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈13.83
Edit: Damn another guy beat me to it, now I wonder how I'm so far off.
Satellite imagery seems cheaper than you might think though. I've had SkyFi in my favourites for a while after they sponsored a YouTube video, and they seem to start at $8 per km^2^ for a new photo or $2.50 for a previously taken one.
To their partners*. Which I believe are companies that help out with support or something.
What are your requirements?
I use Tidal and I know High/Max quality works in the web UI, just needs widevine support.
