Cause environment. Multiple the waste of burner phones (which are also terrible if you only use them for a few calls) also the burner laptop wouldn’t cost much less than a shitty Chromebook, possibly the same thing.
Dude it’s a joke… obviously this isn’t economical or environmental. I’m just tired of wading into these kind of debates every time I comment on a fucking meme posts.
I know at least one FAANG company that had (has? don't know) a policy of not using any hardware was ever used in travel to china. If you had to go there on a business trip, you got a loaner laptop (and got your account severely restricted) and when you got back they wiped and discarded the laptop.
Tech, military, politics, banking, a lot of industry and business sectors treat China like that. That cuntry is a fucking black hole for anything regarding security, privacy or fucking freedom. You have to take precautions like that. If you don't you're an idiot.
