Actually, I *do* want IoT kitchen gadgets

  > You don't get to police what desires people have. I am perfectly fine with hackers having fun with stuff. What is not okay for me is that consumers are generally not given a choice. Want to buy connected speakers that don't come with a microphone enabling something like Google Voice? Good luck. People are generally not competent enough to understand the security implications of adding connected microphones/cameras/sensors inside their home (that usually connect to a damn cloud). Maybe I don't get to police what they want, but I can say that they should be told the truth about the crap they buy beforehand. > I am competent enough to set up my network securely. Is it being competent to not address the fact that connecting random stuff to your network is a security risk?
