This is a warning. Arstechnica doesnt put it in the headline. But "speed test" means scraping your computer from the metal out.
If you gave your PC to the local police they would find less info.
Its so "valuable" to techbros, theatre spending a billion dollars to get it.
A Speedtest is a cavity search by chimps, and Trump funders want it bad.
