        I’ll never understand how people can just spend money they don’t have. Just don’t use credit cards and use debit and spend only the money you have, no more debt by accident.

          Well when rent is due or stomach is empty, you don’t assess the fiscal responsibility of debt you pay the piper and live another day. Some people live paycheck to paycheck and one accident can send them into a death spiral of debt due to no fault of their own.

    Anon isn’t on the edge anymore, they flew right past, they’re living in the deep dark abyss, periodically emerging back up covered in seashells and algae to file their tax returns.

    This feels like it would be dangerous but let’s say you have a good av how bad would it be?

      Still bad, they are running with whatever vulnerabilities existed at the time and all those are known by now.

      Way less dangerous than people say.

      Unless you do stupid shit like plug in unknown USB sticks or put a public IP on your PC you will be mostly fine.

      If you manage to find an updated browser and don’t host any network service it shouldn’t be too dangerous.

        You are still vulnerable to every kind of vulnerability in every program that processes a file you download. Particularly parsers (e.g. XML, images, PDFs,…) tend to have a lot of those over the years.

        If he’s checking his bank account on there then you’re still pretty bad. Downloading dubious cracked software is never a good start.
