It's time to make a move toward computing independence. This is an offline computer configured for users interested in effectively and affordably controlling and protecting their digital data in the face of corporate data harvesting, mass surveillance, and general cybercrime. This is a good computer for small business owners and civil liberty-minded people at a price that approaches unbeatable.
• The machine is fully functional and capable of present-day computing tasks.
• The operating system is an activated clean install of Windows 10 Pro (no software compatibility issues or inconvenience associated with using a different operating system).
• The computer is clean and has minor cosmetic imperfections from past use (see photos for details).
• All available BIOS settings related to remote management functionality are disabled (for the ThinkPad T530: Intel AMT/Intel Anti-Theft/ComputerTrace are all permanently disabled in BIOS).
• All purpose-built radio transceivers (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, GPS, etc.) are checked for and physically removed in accordance with the user manual and the hardware maintenance manual published by the manufacturer (all removed transceivers will be labeled and shipped with the computer).
The radio transceiver hardware is removed as described above with the intent of ensuring that the computer is incapable of making any standard wireless network connections at a hardware level, thus preventing all unauthorized and unwanted access to the computer through these connections. This configuration offers a deeper level of data protection than software-level solutions can. It is a solution to the corporate data harvesting by operating systems, additional downloaded programs, and websites that standard wireless network connections facilitate. It also solves the problem of potential remote access by exploitation of factory-installed radio transceivers together with widespread hardware-level backdoors such as the Intel Management Engine and AMD Platform Security Processor. Offline computers can be used for word processing, spreadsheets, photo editing, video editing, programming, CAD, music composition, accounting, laboratory data collection, gaming, and much more.
During setup, desired data and software can be transferred to an offline computer using a temporary wired ethernet connection or an external drive such as a USB drive. If a temporary wired ethernet connection is used to transfer data or download and install software, it is recommended for data protection and convenience to do this all at once before taking the computer offline. Once the computer is offline, a standard USB drive can be used to conveniently transfer user-selected data between the offline computer and online devices.
