Quotey posted:the cool thing about these is that when it's just sold to normal people they dont know how to secure it so you get things like https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/z3bbq4/podcast-livestreams-hacked-ring-cameras-nulledcast Pawn 17 posted:It's not even just that consumers don't know how to secure it. It's also that the companies making "smart" household items NEVER update their firmware and for the most part don't really care about security when they are rushing out products as cheaply as possible. So once an exploit is found it will not be fixed. So home automation is going to lead to more cyber terrorism, is what you're saying.

The ring camera disaster happened because people think it’s cool and good to use the same password for all their internet services. The cloud is a pretty stupid idea because you have zero control over your data and the entire world can try to guess your passwords. At least all my pointless home automation stuff is hidden behind a OpenVPN server that requires you to have both a pre-shared certificate and credentials to minimize the attack surface Also no cameras in bathrooms and bedrooms please

Are there any home security camera systems worth a toss? My house is in a kinda not great area but I don't want Goku_Weed69 looking at my butthole while I make my morning booze.

I just don't have that kind of time to waste with my busy jacking off schedule You joke but the more input you remove between wanting to do something and doing something the more people are likely to want to use it. Never underestimate how much people are willing to opt into something for convenience.

Its just that smart home tech as it is now offers such tiny amounts of convenience that I don't get why anyone does it. Smart phones at least make sense because they're a significant step up from older tech despite all the spying poo poo

I got a camera to monitor my house when I'm out, but I don't want it watching my gross stuff I do at home so I got a smart plug, and hooked it up so when my phone detects I'm home it automatically shuts off the camera. Moral is two wrongs actually DO cancel out and make a right

HerniaFlange posted:A piece of home automation I could get behind is butler robot, I could tell them to bring me a pop or give me a hug because I'm sad or help me build a TV stand or something. I would also be cool with a robot arm that I could mount to my couch and have reach into other rooms and stuff to do things, I mostly just want it so I could pick up and move people who walk in front of the TV though. Sounds like you just want something to jerk you off.

I got nest security cameras outside, none inside. The single best thing are garage door openers that I can see if my dumbass, or kids, left a door open and close it remotely . We never use the front door so I don’t bother with a smart lock there.

Nest thermostats are genuinely cool as hell and very useful once the unit learns your home and your heating/cooling preferences. You save some solid cash when the thing knows you leave work at 7:30 and turns off the heat, then flips it back on at 4:00 when you're getting home. Most power companies have rebates for buying a smart thermostat too. I agree that most other smart home stuff is hilariously stupid.

I don’t want big thermostat knowing when I get home from work and how I like to sleep in the cold. That will just make it easier for the kill bots to find me

Xaintrailles posted:Demon Seed (kinda). Electric Dreams (1984) There's also that Bradbury story ("When Soft Rains Fall"?), about the smart house that keeps taking care of its owners, oblivious to the fact that they're long dead from fallout. Burglars are learning to cover their faces, which kind of defeats most security cameras. Sure you can get an alert and call 911 but in most places they still have several minutes, which is all they need to get your best stuff.

I bought one, not realizing I have a stay at home mom wife and two kids under two in the house. Our best has basically learned to always keep the house at 72, all the time. God forbid my wife need to wear a sweater.

Our best has basically learned to always keep the house at 72, all the time. If that's how you two raise your thermostat, imagine how your kids will turn out. They will also always be 72, your children will soon be very old for forever.

You can do it with any Alexa device and this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Connect-requires-compatible-Alexa-enabled/dp/B076ZRFP6Y/ You just say "call my phone" and it knows based on your voice which phone to ring.

Maybe it's a 3rd generation thing? I didn't know there was such a thing as the echo connect, and looking at it maybe the only thing it would do is let me answer incoming calls with a voice command, but I may be able to do that too considering I can make outgoing calls by voice. null_pointer posted:is this a trollpost No I was being totally sincere. This poo poo is super handy, and just because loads of people don't recognize it's versatility beyond playing music doesn't make it less handy. I left out a bunch of poo poo like the time I muted my phone and my wife had car trouble at like 3AM. She didn't know how to drop in intercom style, or how to call directly through Alexa, but she did start turning lights and poo poo on and off which clued me in to checking my phone.

For my part, id like a robot to suck me off at exactly 11 pm each night. Sort of like a Roomba with a flexible arm that ends in a autoblow. It'd be nice if it cleaned itself as well. Really though I'm good with it having a cunpartment i could empty out every other week
