All 7000 need to hit the pig with a class action lawsuit.
This is the funniest thing I’ve read today.
Relax. He didn’t do it on purpose. Its not his fault the Chinese left a giant security hole in their software.
This is nothing compared with what an Optimus robot will report back to the mothership when you think it isn’t watching.
Been done already. In “Fantasia.” With mops.
Just an idea.
He had the robots yelling obscenities and racial slurs and things like that. Because he had NO imagination. I could have come up with a half a dozen other things that would have had people swearing their house was haunted.
Every single man’s dream.......Hack my vacuum, please!
I’m thinking I’d like to know the brand of vacuum without having to click a link of unknown integrity.
Im betting it’s a Dominion subsidiary.
Sounds like a tool built for Communist Chinese spies to report back to China.
I’d have them say “hey you missed a spot!”
You cannot minimize the existential threat of thousands of vacuums in an organized, coherent assault on civilization. There is no end of the potential for havoc and chaos it presents if not destroyed before it goes to far. We need anti-vacuum technology NOW! Either that, or a vaccine.
Another example of why I will never have anything automated in my dwelling.
But that would stop the government from making sure you don't misbehave !

Now it is getting worrying. Because it now reports that I have cats, how many to a company who will harvest and sell my data.
And if they want they can remotely turn off the cleaning function of the litter box.
And the auto feeder.
