i can't imagine making my door locks, air conditioner, house lights, or doorbell "smart". every one of those things is easier to control with a switch or a knob instead of some dumb phone app.

It is a particularly powerful version of the technologies used by major political parties. there, happy?

guess you'd better hope you have a good agent then quote:They sent A slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT.

Roosevelt posted:i can't imagine making my door locks, air conditioner, house lights, or doorbell "smart". every one of those things is easier to control with a switch or a knob instead of some dumb phone app. I got a smart plug for my window AC, so I can turn it on when I leave work and my apartment is cool when I get home. Like I know mechanical timers are a thing, but I also sometimes do poo poo after work and electricity is expensive as gently caress in NYC. Also I have a different schedule on the weekends. Anyway, that's about the only use case I can think of for smart internet of poo poo home stuff. It will probably still murder me in my sleep after being hijacked to mine bitcoins or something dumb.

He thought of Nina and her mellifluous buttocks that he used to love to bang. Even now his nano enhanced hearing could almost hear her vagina lips quivering with moisture and also pleasure, like a slice of synth-ham being tongued by one of Malaprop’s slamhounds. When he got back to City5, he was going to do some sex, no doubt about that. “That’s right doll” he said to nobody and the wind. They were going to do it hard. He smiled, blowing smoke from his nostrils. They were going to do it cyber hard.

Yeah that's a p.good use case + low risk but the people putting these lovely things on their front doors are insane. Maybe if you're a sucker renting it out as an air bnb because its easier to revoke access when needed but beyond that... why?

quote:Elon Musk has six days to make good on his pledge that Tesla Inc. will be pumping out 5,000 Model 3 sedans a week by the end of the month. If he succeeds, it may be thanks to the curious structure outside the company’s factory. It’s a tent the size of two football fields that Musk calls “pretty sweet” and that manufacturing experts deride as, basically, nuts.
