      I have a kid but he’s at the stage where the greatest level of entertainment can be derived by sticking things up his nose.

      I won’t get him smart anything as a toy.

      Anyone who works in IT wouldn’t want that, like most cyber security professionals everything in my house is either analogue (door locks, fire alarm) or not internet connected, I have a smart TV but it’s not connected to the internet and if I want to watch Netflix I just hook it up to the PS5 which basically is a media streaming service.

      You guested right, I don’t like the idea of bringing new lifes to such a shitty work like this.
