I heard that too. But I have tested my neighbor’s Lenovo, and nothing. Not one process, or port. So, if they are, they’re damn good. LOL
Besides, I’m only using it for folding on a separate network segment.
I refuse to trust them since they come from a nation state with loads of "patriotic hackers." Just because they don't have a port set up now dosen't mean they cant in the future. I just like to be paranoid.
