And the âinternet of thingsâ continues to shatter no stereotypes whatsoeverâŚ
Light bulbs on the internet. Insecure light bulbs you can hack into and crash over the internet!
At last the future is here!
Itâs just not evenly illuminated 
The future: giving us what we didnât know we needed and donât really want.
We have a few review and approval processes for products that have been set up to protect consumers from electrical hazards, choking, fire hazards, etc. When do get a consumer protection group that will review and approve or deny products like these?
As long as these âinternet of thingsâ are adult toys or niche products*, there probably wonât be one.
*: Maybe they have some use for some people or possibly hotels, but phones right now are single task devices. I wouldnât want to have pause what Iâm doing on my phone then open the lightâs app, change the settings, then go back to whatever I was doing when the alternative is to reach over and flip a switch â something I donât even need to use my eyes to do after the 3rd time.
Iâm waiting for insecure, connected toilets. Then i can properly pun about how shitty the internet of things is.
telnetd was just feeling unappreciated over the past quarter century, thatâs all
think of its feelings
Is that Devo? Because if itâs not, it should be.
Few things anger me more than manufacturers shoving a lower case âiâ in front of their shitty productâs name in an attempt to look cool/sell more.
tl;dr: wasnât gonna.
Iâd think the baby monitor fiasco wouldâve tipped the scale on a decision resting on this particular pivot pointâŚ
Iâve seen that image before, on this site I think, and no, itâs the wrong number of guys.
#HACK THE well-lit PLANET!
âThe Internet of Thingsâ is solving a problem; itâs just not one of -your-
problems.
Big Data, that is to say, the business of mining peopleâs personal information for commercial gains via obtuse legalese and facebook style communication traps is reaching a profit ceiling.
The next frontier is of course, the home and being certain of what you do there.
I suspect that to make this work, Big Data companies are going to have to tie some serious incentives into using their new systems, because itâs looking like their old systems arenât growing anymore.

And the bulbs are shitty anyway.
[/quote]Is this where I come to feel vindicated and say that halogens are staggeringly better?
In my experience, the Cree LEDs at Home Depot are affordable and very decent quality.
Whatever you do, donât buy the IKEA brand LEDs. Theyâre cheap and tempting but last a few months at best.
Sure, IKEAâs Skrundooten bulbs are garbage, but their Groggendorkifs are great, and the Plopplipdinkens, if you can find them, are fantastic. Just donât misplace the Allen key.
I canât believe you misspelled SkrĂźndøøten. Any IKEA shopper knows that!
I always end up buying the lousy bulbs and regret it afterwards. I think the tasty meatballs lull me into giving them my money.
