we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
like most tech ideas iot is dogshit garbage for assholes who think everything needs to be more complicated for no reason. 99 times out of 100 whatever you're using it for will be better off never touching the public internet

I’ll be 100% honest, I don’t see how IoT is valuable outside of a very narrow set of use cases where IoT is essentially replacing already-existing sensors.

I don’t see the business case to justify the hardware, bandwidth, storage, and analysis costs (incrementally slight as they may be).

Is there a :shrug: where it gets bigger and bigger? That’s my view of IoT.

i kind of want to track down some old vb4 tech shirt or something, since all mine are new and bad products (i only like old and bad products) but dont think i ever saw ones for apps like that. was that still the days before novelty shirts eclipsed novelty mugs and mousepads?

are you kidding? in those days a project didn’t exist if it didn’t have a T-shirt

whether anyone outside the team working on it would ever get one…

yeah if your lightbulbs aren’t part of a botnet DDOSing a bank in a country you’ve never heard of then I don’t know what to say, what’s life like in the Stone Age?
