I know people like to have faith in technology but I live by the idea that "if it connects to the internet, it will be hacked/hackable."

Fuck that noise, I'll push my "old school" vacuum around tyvm...

Not just things connected to the internet. Radio-controlled things can also be hacked/hackable. Electronic devices are prone to EM interference. Air-gapped systems have flaws somewhere, even if the flaws come from the human operators (social engineering, humans are hackable). There's no such thing as a non-hackable thing.
