I thought the vendors did this already.
But maybe the ransomware developers will do a better job supporting the smart devices than the actual vendors.
- nikkwong 6y agoHahah. That made me laugh out loud. The idea of having a more open standard to be able to talk to devices in other people's houses is an a pandora's box; but I could also see a lot of interesting use cases. I'm just toying with the idea of warming the color temperature of the lights in my parent's house at night to help them sleep (since I can't get them to care enough themselves). Or think about some type of live poster that your circle of friends streams content to. I'm sure there are tons of interesting possibilities.
