I just assume I'm not interested enough to be spied upon by randoms > When I ordered the first generation Raspberry Pi, they were stuck in the toll a long time

  > If state have means to bug raspberry pi it has means to re-seal the box... That's a good point that I never made sense of. The most likely explanation is simply an oversealouz toll agent. It just left a bad taste in my mouth so I didn't want to play with them... I had largely forgotten about it until the Google Pixel got stuck.

  > I just assume I'm not interested enough to be spied upon by randoms I believe the fewest are. But constant surveillance is an advantage if you need to monitor general opinions or if they find you interesting at a later point and want to check your history. So if you talk about burning wood in your stove a lot and it later becomes illegal you might have a hard time denying you have a stove if they ask you to pay extra carbon emission taxes. Or if you talk about chest pain a lot and later want to get a new health insurance you might find that your options are mysteriously more expensive than others.
