This is absolutely normal when you first buy the place. I bought my place in 2017 and was super anxious over the first year because I suddenly had basically no savings and all my equity was in this building. I didn’t know anything about home repair and couldn’t afford to hire someone who did.

The thought of something going wrong enough that it would ruin the place gave me an anxiety attack more than once.

Then, after a couple years and a few things needing fixed, I realized that things don’t go wrong that often and most of the time if they do, they are easy to fix.

I mean, this doesn’t really change anything from a practical perspective. It just highlights that the verbage in the press release was alarmist.

It’s still a security concern that most users will be unaware of.

You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.
