I don't know if it is still the case, but I had an old box that was working in 2015, booted it up and pulled the data I wasn't sure I had backed up. I wanted to see what would happen so I connected a Ethernet cable to my home router, and the computer immediately locked up. I hard rebooted, and it locked up before even getting through the boot up cycle. I recycled the machine later.
