Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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.

I'd argue that most simply cease to work once you cut their Internet access.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is exactly what I'm implying.

Where internet access is concerned, deny all and whitelist. Not a single company can be trusted to not constantly call home with your data.

Well you'd still end up with no smart home device tho....

Sooo basically the meme but with extra steps

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If they can't access the internet, the whole meme is irrelevant. I think you missed the initial point I was making: someone in IT should know how to safely use devices that try and steal your data.

Choosing to just not have any is akin to choosing not to have any central heating because you've heard about gas leaks. It's moral panic and evidence of a lack of understanding, not good advice.

Its funny because I get the same impression about you.

Maybe you missed the point, that you can't USE them.

"no you"

What an enlightening comment. You have nothing to add, so begone.

Well, one could say that about your previous comment where you basically say " u stupid, I right" 😂

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, they couldn't. Nice try though.

[–] corship@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I love how you're just like

It's easy when said to someone who's incorrect

[–] corship@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

It's also easily said by someone who's blissfully ignorant.
