Thinking of buying a second hand Elite Desk small factor to throw Linux on. I’m worried about the HP firmware-bios thingy. Does it call home? Can I disable calling home somehow? Can it have access to my hard drive info ?

    Depends on the model. While some offer bios updates over ip, not all do. That would really be the only thing talking out.
