hello everyone, I have a question that might turn out to be even stupid but I can’t find an answer, I am approaching the world of privacy and anonymity, the question is, even if I have an old laptop where previously there was windows and no methods were used to protect the identity is the pc still considered valid? because if the mac address is unique and I had linked my accounts to the pc, the address is also associated with my person and always will be, is there any way to sanitize this problem or would it be better to buy a new pc and start from scratch?

    There are various ways to mask your hardware. For example its close to trivial to change your MAC-Address.
