I'm curious what you're referencing. I suppose it could infect the drives controlling chips, but a decent drive should be fine. And if you scramble all the bits I don't see how there could be malware left

And if anyone magically finds them, they'll dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy

Microsoft isn't mentioned in the text, but the 3rd citation is a reference to Microsoft: Microsoft to Launch Much Awaited Cloud Server Farm in Israel in 2021

Separately, I did a quick search: Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war

In recent years, documents show, Microsoft has also provided the Israeli military with large-scale access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – the engine behind ChatGPT – thanks to a partnership with the developer of the AI tools which recently changed its policies against working with military and intelligence clients.

Of course they're not sure. This is an internet forum. The account being gone must mean it was deleted. Honestly, she was probably getting so much bat shit crazy messages, she deleted it herself. That makes the most sense.

3rd citation is a reference to Micro

Install it with the English (World) region

It's also incredibly inconsistent, at least now that they're pushing more and more towards powershell.

I've had issues with the installer from 24H2 for my unattended. I had to use the previous versions installer and installed the 24H2 ISO.

I appreciate the info, I think that's good information that I hadn't fully thought through (but probably could have figured out had I thought about it). I'm not too interested in a Pixel, and the unlocked bootloader is really only useful if someone has my physical phone. My hard drive is encrypted, of course, so my thought as to a way they could gain information if they modify the bootloader and let me decrypt the phone for them. I wonder if the only next best thing is to basically have an alert, or refuse to boot, if there is a change in the bootloader detected, so I can do a clean install.

Most manufacturers don't allow re-locking of the bootloader unless it's official Android, so it sucks the only other option would be buy from Google.

I'm interested in what you say about the forensics kit. What could I look for to find more info?

lol, honestly, just Firefox. I know there's a lot of hubbub about Mozilla and Firefox with them changing their ToS, but you can disable all sponsored items, and anonymous. And even though they changed their ToS, I don't think they've changed anything. They've sold anonymized data for a while. People here don't seem to like data selling of any kind, but Firefox only collects anonymized data, and it's a free service.

The only two real options will be Chrome and Chromium based, and Firefox and Firefox based. For Firefox based that isn't firefox, you've got:

  • Librewolf
  • Mullvad
  • Zen
  • Floorp

If you google for other browsers, and find one you haven't heard of, there's a 99% chance it's Chromium based.

It removes it from Chromium, but there's nothing stopping them from manually adding it back before releasing it. Though it would be a lot of work.
