I always look forward to your snaps.

What risk are you afraid of? You can block it from any network access. You can also virus scan it. If you have a technical background you can log every memory access and file changes it makes. I ...

Love near a nuclear power plant? Maybe you can arrange testing during off-hours for some cost? I know they have the equipment!
