@skylar @Remi @Shadowman311 @WashedOutGundamPilot @Xiego @YTFoidLover1488 The premise behind IoT is so shit that it’s a complete non-starter for me. I will die on this hill.

Two things that just make me confused and angry are: the thought of having to update the firmware of everything I own that draws a current and the inevitable bricking of things that rely on servers.

With point one I just find it ridiculous that I would ever want to have to worry about the firmware of anything beyond a router, printer and maybe a NAS. Why complicate your life further?

Second, why can’t anyone ever just put shit in ROM? Why does everything have to be looked up from a server. Just make a TV with everything it needs as factory default with no option or need for connectivity.
