It's subsidized by state malware. It's very similar to how Ring/Blink camera footage is processed through Amazon servers for AI training and sharing with Flock/LEOs. Similarly the US government and Saudi Arabian government purchased EA games so they pretty much have a back door on any windows PC that has Xbox Games/ EA App installed. Generally if something tech-related is free or cheap, 9/10 times it's because they're making money off of your data. The sad part is more and more companies are realizing they can charge more and sell your data.

This never stops unless everyone stops giving them money.

I'm pretty sure these cheap Chinese mini-PCs usually come with Windows preinstalled, but you're probably going to want to do a clean install anyway, or use Linux

This Firebat A5P looks like a strong budget mini PC for casual gaming, emulation, and everyday desktop use, thanks to the Ryzen 7 8745HS and Radeon 780M. The 2x8GB dual channel RAM is a welcome surprise, and real world reports point to smooth 1080p play, low idle power, and a clean Windows 11 Home install on some units. The main drawbacks are the confusing port and network specs, with USB4 and Oculink missing, USB C details unclear, and Ethernet listed as either dual 1GbE or dual 2.5GbE. A clean reinstall and driver backup are commonly treated as part of setup, making it a capable but slightly mysterious pick.

If you're a target for the US government (or any government with advanced intelligence like China, Israel, Russia, etc.) and you have any device connected to the internet that is in any way traceable to you - you're being monitored. If you have a camera or microphone on that device connected to the internet and you're a target, you're being recorded as well.

There's steps you can take to make it more difficult for them, but you won't be able to prevent them accessing your device if they really wanted to. My background is also Cyber Security, currently specialized in IAM tools, 25 years total IT experience.

That being said, if you're not a target, you should still take reasonable steps to not silently consent to the collection of your data. Whether you believe it matters or not, you should probably install your own OS (try Ubuntu instead of Windows) on any pre-built PC from a vendor you don't trust and you should opt-out of data collection whenever possible, also you shouldn't be giving out personal information to websites unless it's actually necessary to receive a product or service. If they ask for your address and you know it's not needed for the purpose of the service, enter a fake address, phone number, etc. Bad data is worthless to data collectors.
Well said.

You usually would want to wipe the installation anyway because it's almost always have some hidden back door somewhere.
Do you have to activate windows key to hardware online first? Or can you do fresh install out of the box?

Quote from Jerry_03 View quoted comment :
so why do you reccomend reinstalling windows? comes preinstalled with too much bloatware? Can you just grab the drivers from their website or use Windows update to pull them?
Might be a few reasons from bloatware to whatever vender installed windows out of box experience. Acemagic got in hot water because they shipped their machines with malware/viruses. They said they had outsourced windows install OOBE to someone that installed infected OS. Honestly, I remember messing with my GPD win max 2, and some windows settings were in Chinese. Just install a fresh copy especially if you're starting out. YOU WILL NEED TO BACKUP YOUR DRIVERS! I looked up how to on YouTube before I wiped my drive, and I'm glad I did. I couldn't find drivers on a Firebat site or info/help. After I installed a fresh copy of windows from Microsoft media creation tool I found my device manager hadn't populated all the devices with drivers. I'm glad I backed up my drivers early on.

Obviously reinstall windows as every one is saying but then download drivers from their site? Not sure if they are joking. What do you think?

edit. speaking of not giving your personal info, I changed jobs and my linked-in account was tied to my old email address, linkin wanted my unedited copy of my driver license (front and back). needless to say I don't have a linked in account.
