How are you owning 15+ active devices per person?

  I live with one other person but I'll exclude their stuff: * work laptop * desktop * phone * alexa * tv * nintendo switch * roomba * raspberry pi I use for retro games * an ancient android tablet I use to play spotify * a more modern android tablet I use for web browsing in bed * a e-ink reader * 3 wemo plugs That's 14 * support wifi that I don't use: tv, instant pot, washing machine, garage door opener, a gopro-type camera, thermostat * I don't have wifi security cameras but lots of people in my area do I'm probably forgetting things, especially things that support wifi if I wanted them to

    Do roombas and thermostats use much bandwidth?

      They frequently ping home for those vital security updates, see @internetofshit. AWS’s outage taught us Roombas download the floor plan at the start of every cleaning session.

    That's insane, but does make sense. I can't relate, I live with my girlfriend and all we have is: My laptop Her laptop My phone Her phone TV/Chromecast Never felt the need for dedicated devices just for music/browsing
