For this reason the WiFi internet connection on my “Internet of Things” slow cooker has not been enabled.
Imagine what they could do with a couple hundred IoT light-bulbs.
My cell phone and my i-pad are the only “Internet of things” in my house and that ain’t changing anytime soon.
When they don’t make refrigerators that aren’t internet connected, I have the plans to build an icebox, and I’ll be eating a lot more, smoked, dehydrated, and canned food. It’ll fit right in with the wood stove.
So … next winter I will have to PAY a ransom … to get my NEST thermostat to heat my home >45 deg. F. ?
Kenji… house at 45 deg F?!? wOw!
My refrigerator is set at 45 deg. F. Not kidding.
People are stupid about network security. This isn’t news, and it’s a self-correcting problem.
It’s always baffled me how much people are willing to put convenience (or cost) in front of security and self-protection.
this entire decades long security issue all harkens back to the fact billy boy decided to cut corners with his DOS O/S in order to get it to market faster. 1000 patches later it’s still an issue. it’s always been an issue with me.
