What's the deal with iot?
| It's too new and has many security issues to be implemented widely yet
It's hard to make iot secure because of the low power chips those equipments use so conventional cryptography is a pain in the ass since it needs more Processing power and memory
| Imagine having your kitchen being hacked just loke in megaman battle network except you have no way to fight back unless you are a hacker too
| Imagine living in a box made of one-way mirrors where every shit you take is watched by someone and all the degenerate porn you jerk it to gets noted and added to your file. You yourself paid for this glass box for the privilege of voice controlling your toaster instead of just pressing the button. That is IoT and anyone who buys into it deserves the slavery they get.

This is just truth. There is not much in the idea of IoT but advertising products that noone needs which add little to a better life and add a universe of problems and headaches in ones every day.
Those who fall prey to such nonsense deserve all of it as a price to pay for their high level of stupidity.

It is from a lesson well learned. Look at smartphones, what they are and what they could have been as of the visions of 20 years ago. The main focus in them is gathering data and delivering ads, disguised as communication apps. Why would someone want a coffe machine or a bed to become the same escapes me.
Intelligent beeings learn from past mistakes.
| IoT sounds like a cyberpunk future. The folks who are into it forget that cyberpunk is dystopian
| IoT is a huge disaster just waiting to happen. In my opinion, it will only complicate life by making us worry about maintaining more technology, and also opens up more avenues for individuals or even companies to be targeted by hacks.

Not only that but also a way to siphon money from the individual by fixing problems that arent. Update firmware of your interconnected stove? Your fridge is being ddos-ed and crashes? Your smart kitchen needs new microcode to evade Meltdown/Spectre? You either pay for a fix or live in stone age.
If IoT happens, I for one will specialize in de-iotising such equipment and bring them back to sanity.
| Come on, have you never dreamed of living in a world just like that of megaman battle network?
I for one don't care about the info they steal, my bank account is empty, my porn is normal, I don't have any secrets(even if I did I'm horrible at keeping them a secret) and I'm good enough with technology to get around the downsides of it all
| I think the biggest problem is that there aren't that many benefits from the current iot. If refridgerators and closets could actually track what you bought or if you could easily keep track and centralize everything you've been doing, it might catch on. As it is, the technology's not there.

| I see people talk about it all the time online, but I've never seen someone use it irl. It's like... imaginary or something?
