    I nuked my system once. I was 5-6 years old and I deleted system32 to make space for SimCity 2000. PC didn’t turn on after resetting.

    I’ve downloaded stuff and pirated media from the internet since I was like 10 (no internet access before that). Never have I ever nuked my system from piracy, even if I may have downloaded a virus or two (without notable consequences).

    I feel like clicking ads on YouTube nowadays or downloading random crap from the play store is more dangerous for your security than piracy is. I respect your decision though!
