Hi all,

American traveling to China for IETF, and making my tech prep plans (bringing a laptop, phone, tablet, kindle, and steam deck). I won’t bias with my current plans too much, but I do already run Linux+LUKS and GrapheneOS.

For those with experience, what tech prep would you do?

Thanks!

    Don’t zero, install windows. Use company laptop or loaner, might catch hardware backdoor on the border. Don’t use for critical stuff or to access critical stuff. Discard or return afteru the fact.

      Say whatever you will about the CCP: there’s nobody on earth burning the level of resources needed to do that undetectably and reliably on some tourist pleb’s arbitrary hardware.

      More power to you if that’s what you wanna spend energy on, though.
