Is there an easy way to check wehther a certain PC component has
eavedropping device ATTACHED? :)

Well, kinda. Just make a repetitive sound and check the power drain in the

PC to see if it induces a repetitive current draw. In other words,
measure correlation over a long term. Other than a microphonic
component, it's not likely this test will find a correlation there.
That assumes that there's no store-and-forward internal element, and that
PC operational 'noise' isn't dominant (over the long term, like hours, noise
will average to zero).

constant which affects power consumption more than the repetitive
sounds, also browser background activities are not random and active tab
dependent which is user dependent, seasonal and many other non-random
cycles that will send anyone chasing skinny rats like finding ET on SETI.
