I used to be a tech enthusiast. Used to.

Now if I didn't personally audit the hardware I don't want it on my fucking network. My smartphone, which I only use mobile data on and have the wifi disabled because reasons, is the only smart device I own connected to the internet. I also have 2 roku TVs but they're offline (whytf does my TV need internet, it's literally a monitor for my htpc).

IOT is not bad when you selfhost and manage all the data thats being scraped yourself. But like, fuck corporate IoT stuff

Amazon's alexa smart speakers had a bug a while ago where it would spit out everything it heard, even stuff you didn't say to it.
Fuck corporate IoT indeed.
