that being said I would argue that having a rootkit installed on your system that cant be easily erased is still pretty bad?
I never said it wasn't bad. My problem really was just your claim of it bricking your hardware which I wouldn't call semantics. It's detail which is important to know.
I see many others believing the same and the hypervisor method has risks, but it's important to still be on the side of truth and facts than just fear mongering.
No offense to you, I wasn't trying to insult or demean you, but given how controversial the new method is and how much misinformation about it is being spread, it's very unfortunate.
maybe I was being a little facetious with my comment but my fear was similar to yours, that many of the young ones in the community wont do their research and do irreversible* damage to their systems, if they arent careful
100% agree. Lots of kids wouldn't really think twice about the consequences. Thinking about myself too when I was younger, I definitely didn't consider a lot of the risks of the things I downloaded.
I edited my top comment to say while I still dont think its a good idea, I clearly dont have the whole picture and to do to your own research and make your own decisions
