IT Worker’s Low-Tech House

Text on the meme

I work in IT, which is the reason our house has: - mechanical locks - mechanical windows - routers using OpenWRT - no smart home crap - no Alexa/Google Assistant/... - no internet connected thermostats

What it means

A person working in IT lists the deliberately low-tech features of their house, including mechanical locks and windows, OpenWRT routers, and no smart-home devices. The joke is that an IT professional distrusts connected technology and avoids the complexity, privacy concerns, and security risks of smart-home gadgets.
