I am a noob. I am wondering: are there security issues with buying a second hand Framework laptop (I cannot really afford a new one)?
I am thinking here specifically of people having loaded malicious BIOS or put in extra chips to do…”bad things”…

It’s not impossible but I’d say it’s unlikely. This is not a scalable way to do bad things while it costs a lot. That’s why it’s typically reserved for targeted bad things. I.e. someone wants to do bad things to you specifically. For example if you’re an uncomfortable journalist. If there’s a machine put up on the wide second hand market for anyone to buy, it’s probably not one of those cases.
