Why anyone would have such a device in their home is still beyond me.
I can turn on my lights, play music and manage my calendar just fine without the direct line to the NSA in my living room.
- Matt3o12_ 9y agoYou mean like a smartphone, tablet, smart tv, and laptop? They all have the same capacities and most of them are always on.
- zython 9y agoyes, not to the extreme of smartphones tables and laptops (since all of them are more or less capable of running on linux) but smart tv for me fall into the same category as these "smart home" aka mass surveillance devices, especially because it has been proven that they have been used for surveillance.
- Matt3o12_ 9y agoI agree with laptops but I’d say smartphones are worse because they are always on, always tracking your location (the smartphone via its location service and your cell carrier). I’d say smartphones have an even worse track record because of how they manage to circumvent location service restrictions (through your WiFi SSID, cellular triangulation) as well as asking for almost all of the permissions you have available.
