>Embedded devices that aren't updated regularly for long periods of time are the reason we can't have nice things on the internet. No. Embedded devices should generally not be on the Internet at all. Rather, they should have local management/update points and zero access to the Internet. We still wouldn't be able to have nice things on the Internet, due to all the general purpose devices that have been compromised, but there's no reason a light bulb, a refrigerator, a TV or (especially) a camera or microphone should have any contact with the external world. But that breaks the "we're going to display ads on stuff you paid for, and if we spy on you, we can charge more for those ads" business model, and as such, I won't hold my breath and will continue to aggressively manage my DNS and network egress rules.
