This is your regular reminder that you don't need that "smart" whateverthefuck.
You don't.

Nothing should be fucking hooked up to the internet.
Especially not your fucking toothbrush.
Stop making it easier for shady bullshit companies to sell data about every single small aspect of your life to even shadier advertisers.
Stop voluntarily exposing yourself to the worst of the internet.

Edit: Even if this particular news story er... isn't, the message stands

idk about you but having my toothbrush join a botnet sounds worth the extra price

FYI this isn't true. The toothbrush botnet is a hypothetical example that was taken to be something that actually happened, probably because of the language barrier.

Ah.
This doesn't change anything about my message, however
