Some version of this meme[0] has been circulating since before memes were a thing. I remember the Public School IT guy cracking a joke about packing heat in case the copier tried something funny (which sets a lower bound for the age of this joke because you haven't been able to pack heat in a school in three decades and haven't been able to crack that joke in a school in two).

I'm about to wire up some doorbells in our house and my wife can't for the life of her understand why we didn't simply buy, "one of those wireless ones." It's because the wired ones just work and always will just work and never don't work. No batteries. No internet. No computer chips. Etc, etc.

One cloud-based solution for opening garage doors, myQ, was offline for a few hours recently. People on Twitter were claiming, in all apparent sincerity, they had to literally break into their own homes.
