why wouldn't you do that? Because I don't memorize my passwords. They're at least 20 characters and use lots of special characters. So I have text files. Even if I transfer them to flash drive and erase them from the drive I think the stranger, if good at tech, could still get to them. Also, the stranger isn't paying you 5k.

Sure, it's not like every stranger in the world would want to do something nefarious. Maybe they need to google something quick for a book report, or to prove their friend wrong in an argument about flat earth.
Besides, all my shit's backed up, and there is no language there barring me from temporarily disabling my internet until they're done. Plus, any important stuff like family photos are in password protected folders, so... Yes, very much so.

My friends used to go through all my shit all the time the second I left my room, so I started putting pictures of my dick literally everywhere.

Sure, but I take the hard drives out of my computer and have them boot the OS fresh fresh from a USB drive. I also unplug my computer from my router, and uninstall the wireless adapter. Immediately after the stranger is finished using my computer, I completely disassemble it and replace the motherboard, CPU, and GPU.

I guess I would have to know more about who this random stranger is. Realistically, I'd assume he's in on the gig for a reason, but a real "random person" would likely have no clue how to make a new folder, and wouldn't really have any kind of scam planned.

Realistically, I'd assume he's in on the gig for a reason, but a real "random person" would likely have no clue how to make a new folder, and wouldn't really have any kind of scam planned. Definitely would have to know a tad bit more about the person. Since TC never said "random", I said that XD But they just said "stranger". So it could simply be someone you don't know but TC knows.
