am not a user of a hardware wallet, but thinking of getting one.
that said...
the other thought I have is to use my employer's laptop, controlled and all by the IT systems in place, as the one holding a new seed phrase wallet for holding my larger funds, a wallet only to be used to tx funds to/from my everyday wallet(s). still something can go wrong on that laptop, but never use this one for crypto stuff, therefore highly unlikely that this laptop is targeted by a keyboard or copy/paste software by crypto stealers. and when they do, its likely detected by the IT filters applied to that solution. and if when its comes in undetected, it is highly unlikely I click a malicious link. Instead of that laptop, I could also use one of my older smartphones I don't use anymore, but I think I prefer my employer's laptop.
regarding hive key recovery. am thinking of something similar. use my employers laptop to create a recovery account I myself control, instead of keeping this in the hands of a 'trusted' third party.
whats your opinion on my ideas? bin material? mucho better to go for a hardware wallet?
true that CEX is better for trading than DEX. through pancakerouter hack, connected to a trusted DEX frontend, a nice amount of funds from my wallet got stolen last november.
