Wife's hard drive just went tits up. Nothing local, so I ordered an SSD from Amazon overnight. Still means she's without a computer for a few days.
Asks if she can use mine. 
Jeez, doesn't she have any idea how long it will take to sanitize the thing? |

Mine uses her phone for 95% of computer needs, despite having a nice 15" laptop and a 10" tablet. I guess she like to squint and type with her thumbs.

Give her own login with no admin rights.
And your porn stash should already be in a Truecrypt volume. |

Besides, what happens when the internet goes out, or your connection is too shitty to stream 1080p videos? Some shit is too important not too have an offline copy. |

Yep, used to be "when I die, delete my browser history", it's progressed to "when I die, wipe and overwrite my HDD and reinstall an OS over it".

People save porn? Doesn't matter if you save porn. If you cruise porn sites, a permanent record is saved on your computer. (And deleting the browser history doesn't get rid of it.) You may have to actually reformat your hard drive, and overwrite it multiple times. Might be easier just to destroy the hard drive. (And that doesn't even include records that may be saved at the level of your Internet Service Provider.) Just get a cheap burner laptop and reserve that for porn. |

If you're that scared, just boot from a thumb drive running linux for porn surfing. Don't mount the internal drives in the computer, and nothing can be written to them. Then, destroy the thumb drive using some homemade thermite. Thumb drives tend to be cheaper than burner laptops.

Jeez, doesn't she have any idea how long it will take to sanitize the thing? I'm seriously considering replacing the wife's clunker desktop with a raspberry pi, or similar. She only surfs on it, but she does need IE to put in her work time. |
