I've been messing around on PC since the Counterstrike days in highschool. For gaming i never owned a console, was always into custom PC. I always enjoy learning new things regarding research, new hardware.
On GAW I have learned how to archive, meme, scrutinize more strictly and find better primary sources among many other things. I would like to learn more from my brethren here.
I will share a few. Keyboard shortcut basics:

We are all thirsty for knowledge!
If it is electronic, it is compromised. Don't worry to much with security when playing with deep states toys. Ur tv listens, ur thermostat listens, phone, everything. Hell, i bet ur dog is secretly a chyna spy (ok, exaggerated that last one...maybe). Point is, u could be secured 100% on the pc. Ur not secure from ur doorbell.
As far as pc is concerned, linux is best choice in my opinion. (Even though i use windows)
Antivirus is a nich thing in my opinion. Get whatever even if it is costco brand lol.
Vpn, in my opinion is like getting whole life insurance. Waste of money but the one with is feels secured.
