Alice is an idiot if she’s trying to defeat nation-state adversaries and be a thrifty shopper at the same time, but even so, in most places a laptop isn’t going to be cheaper than a cheap mobile phone.
You really want Alice to use some public library computer for some reason, but I am going to assume Alice isn’t a complete moron and would avoid this, given there are a hundred better options that won’t result in her genitals being shocked in some dingy government interrogation room. If you have to use a laptop then, cool, grab an ISO of Debian, install it, find the nearest WiFi hotspot, make a free protonmail account, send an email. Done. -Ryan McGinnis r...@digicana.com http://bigstormpicture.com 5C73 8727 EE58 786A 777C 4F1D B5AA 3FA3 486E D7AD > On May 7, 2021, at 5:36 PM, Stefan Vasilev <stefan.vasi...@posteo.ru> wrote: > > > Ryan McGinnis wrote: > >> Sounds like you're having to trust some kind of tech from the country you're >> going to, so with that in mind: >> >> Buy burner phone and SIM with cash from some place where normal people buy >> phones and SIMs with cash.
