I get the efficiency of these items, but if the smart Roomba facilitates a hacker mapping the inside of my home, I’ll stick with the Hoover upright.

After my refrigerator tased me for getting a beer out, I disabled all the appliances from the internet.

Indeed. I see vacuuming as a nice little bit of exercise. I get my earbuds, cue some music, and tidy the house.

I wonder how the Founders would feel, that the blood, sweat and tears that went to secure our right to be from search and seizure, was surrendered because we wanted to have a camera in our fridge.

There is nothing that equals deadbolts and guns for home security.

Don’t have a “Smart” home and you have nothing to worry about.
And it will even work when the power is out.

and the top “tip” from the article is, “keep your software up-to-date”!
LOL
When was the last time anyone updated the software for their toaster?
I have enough trouble already with Windows 3.11

"I wonder how the Founders would feel, that the blood, sweat and tears that went to secure our right to be from search and seizure, was surrendered because we wanted to have a camera in our fridge." First they would ask .. "What's a 'fridge'?".
Followed by .. "What's a camera?".

So, I’m supposed to have a strong password unique to each device and a separate email account for all my smart devices?
who are these people? Do they have any idea how many strong passwords that would take? And, don’t write ‘em down, you have to remember them. I like the suggestion to compose a cute little ditty to remember the passwords. How am I to remember all the cute little ditties? I know I need a cute little ditty to remind me of the cute little ditty passwords.

Hackers are not the true immediate problem. As you know the carriers themselves are the true spys.
