This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That is very true.
The toy we had was from around 2010, I think that there may have been less risk back then, but your point still stands (PS I was using linux as a desktop)
Was it Arch, btw?
I have tried Arch, btw, but at the time I think I would have been using openSUSE or maybe Gentoo
My father in law worked security for the government, he wasn't i.t security but he worked with those guys, the amount of citations for plugging in rechargeable vape pens was absurd. He was there when the furby scare happened and they thought that was funny, but then a computer did get infected when someone brought in a digital picture frame, so shits been pretty serious since the late 2000's
