ate all the Oreos posted:idk maybe, there's different roku versions and i know my mom has a cheaper, older one so maybe it's significantly more locked down than the "nice" ones? idk i just remember it having barely anything besides major services and angry birds for some reason. older/cheaper rokus (the cheaper rokus often being the old hardware packaged in a newer case) are too slow or missing codec support to handle all the services the newer/more expensive rokus do. so they only get access to a limited subset of the choices. if you really wanted to, you can force in access with some weird hack poo poo, since some of the channels do actually work even though Roku themselves won't support them on the older/cheaper device. but that's a bunch of hassle

Chalks posted:Wait, if my electricity company is installing something in my house designed to monitor whether or not the electricity is working, why are they plugging it into my washing machine? the idea of it is that it would be plugged into all major appliances. there would also be provision for signing up to have controls like some utilities have to reduce a/c use or similar things at times of peak demand, which are already in place. it's all meant to be part of this: https://www.smartgrid.gov/ the purpose of this appliance not building the actual interface in, is so that they don't have to worry about not meeting the standards whenever those standards finally get agreed on by the utilities and other manufacturers - and that might easily take a decade or more to happen.

Chalks posted:So it's not plugged into my washing machine in order to do anything with power cuts at all but rather so the power company can remotely turn off my washing machine if too many other people are boiling the kettle? no, it would also do things like report on localized blackouts and especially localized brownouts, as well as possibly being controllable to either keep it off at times of peak load, or to be set to only run at times of lowest load, or to implement various delays or alternate modes of operation to reduce power draw a bit. it's all in all similar to the sophisticated control agreements that major industrial and commercial electricity consumers have with their power utilities, that can allow for significantly changing their power draw from the grid to help with stabilizing it without the utility needing to turn on peaking power so often. it doesn't do much for the grid when it's just one household and one device, but when you start getting spread among thousands or millions you can start shifting a lot of energy use

Chalks posted:Genuinely still not seeing how the washing machine's ethernet port has anything to do with a smart meter being able to detect powercuts. The smart meter is already plugged directly into the power supply, surely? Why does the washing machine having an ethernet port help in any way? it's literally not an ethernet port, it just has the same shape. it's some sort of serial port that you connect up to a device that actually interfaces with the smart meter and through that the utility's network. the connection allows for optional controls that help change power load. again, the idea behind it is that you'd eventually have all your appliances hooked up to it including hvac, but even only having one or two appliances controllable, across a bunch of households, could be useful to the utility company. for power saving on clothes washer, you'd probably be able to set it so it waits to go into a spin cycle at times of peak load or something. after all, just letting the clothes soak for a little bit longer isn't going to hurt anything.

ate all the Oreos posted:someone else's washer wouldn't be using power if it wasn't full of clothes though, if the point is to save power you'd want to kill the things using the most power, like during the spin cycle, or someone using the dryer, etc. you would simply delay moving between phases of the wash cycle for instance, or with a dryer you might tell it to use a lower heat mode for a little bit longer to take the edge off the power usage. most people aren't going to particularly notice or care that their overall wash cycle has a chance of taking 10-15 minutes longer. you're aiming to add up a couple watts here and a 100 watts there across a whole region until you're succesfully reducing local grid load by kilowatts or megawatts, which can be enough to not need to start up a peaker plant

Chalks posted:Like with spin cycle getting delayed for 15 mins little adjustments like that probably aren't much of a big deal, but that goes both ways. What percentage of my house hold electricity bill are you actually shifting around by doing this? 0.1% of my weekly usage adjusted by 15 mins feels rather minor. you only need to shave off or delay small amounts of power in a bunch of homes, to end up not needing to spin up peak-load-only natural gas turbine #459 on the network, and that saves the utility tens of thousands of dollars a week. maybe you should buy a new water heater if your current one's all hosed up and doesn't heat up properly? you'd need one anyway, to take advantage of the system. ate all the Oreos posted:they add up to a ton if every single customer does them, which will never actually happen because i'm pretty sure 90% of american households can't afford or don't give a gently caress about ~smart appliances~ anyway bruh, the utility companies would be giving out rebates and poo poo to do it. they already do this to get people to replace old fridges and hvac systems and other big power/gas draws with newer and more efficient ones, they already did it a lot to get people off incandescents to cfls and leds. the amount of money they spend on those rebates and subsidies is pennies compared to keeping whole power plants that cost tons of money offline as much as possible. all that has to happen is that instead of providing discounts on generic new appliance, it's generic new appliance with the control thingy.

Wheany posted:on one had, we could separate these two components for security purposes. on the other we could combine them and save fractions of a penny per device. the appliance that brought this up literally has the communication component separate from the appliance itself, using an external port to communicate to it. Boiled Water posted:It could very well be RJ45 for data collection or fault finding. I've seen a number of, granted scientific equipment, which comes with RJ45 so you can collect the data. Don't know if it's a two way street though. the port's explicitly for a to-be-developed external device to connect it to a smart grid system. if you wanted to, you could probably rig some sort of homebrew testing and control thing to work with it, i guess though.

It's extremely likely that there are entire IoT botnets out there that have compromised control servers ready to be used by a variety of nation states. I would bet both of my testicles against a sandwich that at least 3 nation states have enough ddos capacity to take out the root nameservers. Part of what makes the NSA's capabilities so big is that they have way more stuff than just that Utah data center he mentioned. That's why the Utah datacenter would be of little use in attempting to run any sort of denial of service. They don't have any magic hardware that would make using just their one big data center particularly useful for denial of service, or really even using it as part of a wider attack.
