Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/Memes@lemmy.world - General memes

It's not just damage to your home network, it's using that as part of botnets do do other crime. And it's collecting data on you for sleazy purposes, that then gets leaked (sometimes) to those who want to use it for crime.
Really?
The great thing about software is once you develop an insane trick to get into one child's internet-connected doll (oh yes, there's that too) you can roll it out to try ten million dolls across the world.
