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]

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.

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

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.
