Is this terriblefacebookmemes?
hack complete
I was definitely thinking forwardsfromgrandma
If this is the bar i'm going back to reddit
Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
I like it just for The Brave Little Toaster.
Is r/memes any better? Same boomer memes. I'd argue here you find good stuff a bit more often at least.
r/memes is indeed shit (not as bad as this post in particular but yeah). I'm more of an okbuddyretard kinda guy
Okay boomer
Which boomer made this?
The one that gets called for tech support.
All your base are totally belong to us.
Brave Little Toaster was such a fucking banger.
And fuck the IOT bullshit!
Yeah, there are definitely things were it being connected is a nice thing. But a lot of things don't need that. Lights are a nice thing to have connected, but what good is a connected toaster if i still have to put in the toast and take it out.
Almost all these smart devices are useless. Just give me a fucking toaster or microwave that doesn't die in six months, there is no world on which being able to connect my microwave or dishwasher to the internet is relevant or helpful to anyone but the data miners.
Stove Setting: Maximum
Oven Temperature: 500°F
Smoke Alarm, Carbon Monoxide Alarm: Set to "Maintenance" mode
Door, Windows: Set to "Active Burglar" mode
Network: Set to "Malware Isolation" mode
Manual Override Button: Set to "Inactive"
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.

I really do not like the idea of this future. Everything in your home connecting to the internet makes me uncomfortable. This is the way shits going and every house in the future will have it but like nah I’m good. I don’t need companies to know every damn thing I do in my life. They already know enough
Me, neither:
- [Message on the ACME freezer] The subscription for your ACME freezer ended. Please renew if you want a fully operational freezer.
- [You] Fine, fine, I'm going to pay that bloody subscription again. It's just a few cents per second.
- [You try to renew subscription in the ACME site.]
- [ACME site] Support for your freezer model has ended. Here's a totally-not-advertisement-disguised-as-suppport link for a newer and expensive freezer model.
- [You] Screw it, I can't buy a new freezer right now.
- [You, a few days later] WHY DID ALL THE FOOD IN MY FREEZER THAW???
Even without targetted business harassment (oopsie, my bad, I'm supposed to call it "advertisement", right?), you're giving up power over your home appliances to a company. And of course a company will use it to try to squeeze your dry, while pressing/bribing/"encouraging" lawmakers to allow it.
Someone else implied that this mindset is a "boomer thing"; well, no, it isn't. And if I had to take a guess, boomers are the ones who fall for it the most, as the technobabble goes past their heads and they think "wow this is super modern I assume that it's better".
Smarz devices are cool. As long as they are only locally connected.
Homeassistant is the best!
The “S” in “IoT” stands for “secure”.
I think the lamp is saying "bitch"
No, it's saying "bruh"
I wouldn't connect Samsung appliances to the internet in case Samsung sends a poison pill like Western Digital did with their NAS hard drives.
controlled by my own raspberry pi or bust. :) middle ground.
This is so bad that I love it.
So when I play online games that have VOIP I like to shout "HEY GOOGLE TURN OFF XBOX, TURN OFF PLAYSTATION, TURN OFF PC" and see who disconnects from a match.
Apple responding to your infringement of one of their 5000 Vision Loss Pro patents by sending a special software update just for you, which causes your iBad to tell your HomeKit thermostat to make the air hot enough to burn a very flammable object that you have
That's what you get for not buying an iPhone for Security!

Whoa! Never thought I would see one of my favorite childhood movies in a meme. The Brave Little Toaster is an awesome movie ...that you should never let your kids watch unless they're old enough to understand what an existential crisis is.
Is funny because it's soooooo true 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am quite pleased to see a Brave Little Toaster meme.
Same, and I haven't even watched it. Like the character design though, especially for Lampy.
