A special feature known as SSD secure erase. The easiest OS-independent way is probably via CMOS setup – modern BIOSes can send secure erase to NVM Express SSDs and possibly SATA SSDs.
No, "overwritten" data doesn't actually get erased right away due to wear levelling. As SSDs get esoterically smart with how they prevent unnecessary erase operations, there's no way to be sure without secure erase.
Could someone explain why we can’t just plug the average PC etc into a ‘raw’ internet line (like just entering a house) and have a mini modem on the motherboard do the translation work?...
There’s no modem needed, actually. All of that can be done in software, and you can configure a desktop as a PPPoE client (that’s the protocol your router uses to log into your ISP’s network and receive internet connectivity). Obviously, you’d need to configure that PC as a router for other computers to also share the connection, and running a typical interactive system 24/7 as a router is hideously inefficient in terms of power use.

I'm sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn't think of anywhere better to ask about it...
How do I wipe a modern SSD to prevent data recovery?
I understand traditional methods don’t work with modern SSD, anyone knows any good way to do it?
