It reads like a telephone (gone through India?) mod of that version I am more familiar with: >Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future! Programmers/Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.[0] [Security technicians: (takes a deep swig of whiskey) I wish I had been born in the Neolithic.] [0]https://biggaybunny.tumblr.com/post/166787080920/tech-enthusiasts-everything-in-my-house-is-wired https://biggaybunny.tumblr.com/post/166787080920/tech-enthus...

A big hammer, in case guns are hard to come by or you don't trust chemistry and complex mechanics.

  people, you can just unplug it!

    that's assuming the rat's nest of cables even permits access.

      Some say there's a plug in the back of printers you can yank out too. I wouldn't know since I just refuse to own one at this point.

        Isolated scissors then?

That engineer perspective accurately describes me, including the gun. Haha Someday the finger will be pointed at us once enough attack vectors are introduced and exploited at once. And in general I distance myself from tech I can live without.
