Usually if someone wants to use my laptop, i am more concerned about them messing up my stuff, like using browser tabs i opened to remain me of something, or closing the whole firefox after they are done.

I think I'm even worse than I was before now because of course I've got Bitcoins stored there, then there's all my personal information, work, NDA level work that someone could steal and of course the porn :P

I'd be happy to lend them a laptop or whatever that I didn't use often if I knew they were trustworthy though.

My sister recently wanted to borrow my laptop for about half an hour. It was horrible, I felt like I was lending her a kidney.

A bit dangerous when lending your smartphone who knows if they make an overseas call?

Oh god your sister? Did she even know how to use a computer properly? Yeah this is another one of my fears where they end up accidentally breaking it and I lose all my data :P

Yes. I don't usually hesitate, I usually simply refuse.

They're called "personal devices" for a reason. Even though I have nothing to hide most of the time, it freaks me out seeing someone else use my stuff. Full disk encryption for computers, secure passcode for phones.
