I fuckin love technology man.

Whenever I'm walking up to my apartment I can turn my lights, tv and Xbox on AND even have the game I want to play loaded up before I unlock the door.

SMK behavior ^^

@JustThat the perks of loT

@JustThat the paranoia is strong

@AleCx04 It's not paranoia if it's actually happening.

Maybe not a 15yo from Russia, but his actions are recorded and someone else has access to the logs. That's not cool.

@JustThat my laptop is closed 95% of the time it's not in use and there's no other cameras. Nice try being edgy and paranoid though.

@Root and that's the reason why I only have lights and a speaker in the way of "smart" devices.

If someone's life is so sad they wanna listen to me screaming horrible things at my Xbox while I'm playing video games, more power to em.

@Stuxnet How is that "edgy"? Logs are a thing, and I don't want my life logged for someone else's convenience.

Edit: nevermind, I misread. Not awake.

@Root valid points indeed. But then again, 2 girls have tried drugging me at two different bars in the past, does this mean I am not gonna enjoy female company at bars or bars as a whole anymore? no, but I will be smarter. My boy here can enjoy iot all he wants whilst taking the precautions for it. Being exposed to something that can be manageable is pretty real as well.

@AleCx04 Valid point too 😊

@Jilano I can't help it 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@Jilano you guys get that shit for free? I have to pay to see dem dancing buttcheeks!!

@Jilano that was a good night indeed.

@AleCx04 you need to get out more 😎

@JustThat I've literally never once read my card numbers out loud and I live alone.

Bonus: I almost never use my card unless I'm there to physically use it myself.
Double bonus: I never get delivery because everything I would have delivered is within a few miles and I don't care to pay someone $5+ to do something I can do.

Like I said. Nice try but I'm glad I don't live paranoia.

@JustThat my apartment is an old piece of shit with no overhead lighting in the living room and the only source of light is the three lamps I have.

Go turn on three lamps manually every time you enter your apartment and you'll quickly stop doing it for an easier version.

"Unnecessary risks" lmao

This shits getting old man. Let's just let it go and do whatever the fuck you want with your tinfoil hat and I'll do what I want with mine.

And here I am with my "hey google, turn on the TV to Netflix"

Some people enjoy the risks, others don't.

The only internet of shit devices I have are lifx light bulbs (which don't have a mic) and they will get their own VLAN and FW zone once I'm motivated to connect them to the other SSID.

@saucyatom congratulations!

@Stuxnet What I'm saying is that you can have both IoT and reasonable security by keeping those devices gated on the network level.
