Robot vacuums yell obscenities at owners after hackers take control

ah-swear, i’d subscribe to a “consumer reports” sort of service which certified products according to how relatively disconnected they are from internet/app dependencies; sometimes given the confusing moniker of “dumb” (in distinction to “smart-watch” “smart-tv” “smart-toilet-plunger”). Oh for a ‘dumb’ serviceable robo-vaccum which can’t have its associated app ransom/shutdown.
