Anyone running local AI or storing private data should stick to an air-gapped system. Why?
Corporations & governments harvest enormous amounts of data to predict your behavior.
For local updates, I still advise what I told companies 25+ years ago:
Use USB drives for one-way updates only. Never reuse them, destroy after a single use. Modern research shows even USBs can carry spyware, so treat each drive as potentially contaminated & enforce strict, one-time procedures.
