    We’ve had one like that, you could even plug it into a computer and access it as a usb flash drive and change the sounds

      Would not recommend plugging USB into a computer with access to anything important to you.

      I’m not a privacy nut, but USB should be treated like a sex toy of* unknown origin.

        That is very true.

        The toy we had was from around 2010, I think that there may have been less risk back then, but your point still stands (PS I was using linux as a desktop)

            I have tried Arch, btw, but at the time I think I would have been using openSUSE or maybe Gentoo

          My father in law worked security for the government, he wasn’t i.t security but he worked with those guys, the amount of citations for plugging in rechargeable vape pens was absurd. He was there when the furby scare happened and they thought that was funny, but then a computer did get infected when someone brought in a digital picture frame, so shits been pretty serious since the late 2000’s
