The joke goes like this:

People who don't work in tech: "I have a smart TV, smart doorbell, smart thermostat, smart fridge, smart clothes washer..."

People who work in tech: "The only computerized devices in my house are the Linux PC and the printer, and I keep a gun next to the printer in case it makes a sound I don't recognize."
