@thomasfuchs The Commonwealth Games do it too. On a train in Birmingham (UK), on our way to watch some hockey, we met a dentist who was providing free dental care to athletes. She said it was well used by many who did not have access to dental services in their own countries.

@thomasfuchs I find it amusing that during the live streams their announcers don't remark about things that are quite obviously going wrong, such as "no the starship is not supposed to be spinning like that!”

@thomasfuchs @GossiTheDog It does. But it doesn't say what make of toothbrush it was, or what the Swiss website that was DDoS'd was. There are toothbrushes that can connect to a smartphone, presumably via Bluetooth, but I don't see how you could make a botnet out of them.

@thomasfuchs @GossiTheDog says this story is not true.
