    "Cell mate" is a joke from Futurama if memory serves.

    "...toy's app has been fixed by its Chinese developer after a team of UK security professionals flagged the bug."
    Good work, professionals.
    On the bright side, I've still got pessimism and despair to fall back on.

    Makes me think of the number of times Alexa has said "The Porch Light device is not responding, check its power and network connection..."

    Thankfully the fix is usually as simple as requesting rediscovery of devices.

    If you get locked in, does the name change to Incelmate?

    There is no response I can think of that wouldn't get me banned for life.

    Well played sir, well played.

    Depends whether you took the red pill or the blue pill.

    edit>Thinking about it, you'd really regret having taken the blue pill.

    Like an Australian would know what cold water is. Your oceans are made of enormous spiders and old men complaining about knives.

    So the UK security professionals who found the bug...are they now considered red hat hackers?
