So you’re saying that no matter what hardware you have, the NSA will buy that specific hardware and take the time to break it.

That's right. And I'm also saying that switching hardware will make the break attempts take longer

And in the mean time, all my browsing, payment, and location data collected by corporate ad brokers got handed over to the NSA for just the cost of a letter.

I don’t see the point in constantly changing hardware that I don’t even know is safe, just to prevent what will already happen.

You don't see the point in constantly changing hardware, but you have no problem with changing subject, I see. I would encourage you to give Zero Days a watch sometime
