    That’s what we did.

    For the few pages we need to print, I can use the machine at the library for $0.10/page.

      So issue here is privacy, the library is likely scanning whatever device connected, not just the files and file metadata

        I trust the library a lot more than I trust Staples or a similar for-profit business.

        Seriously? The library computers are running Windows 8 I highly doubt they have the technical expertise to do anything. Also why would they?

          Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people’s connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don’t doubt there’s specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don’t have any sources of this, but it wouldn’t surprise me

          Maybe I’m overly parandoid because ::gestures at everything::
