Amen, and protective/alerting dogs in addition to lots of firearms.
Yep, the manufacturers/software producers/etc. of ALL these things and the government are the spys, etc. and they just access these things with already built in access points, etc. so they don’t even have to “hack” into them like hackers would.
Same thing with having Alexa, Siri, etc. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, AND VERY VERY STUPID!!!
Number One: Don’t put spyware in your house like Alexa, Nest, or HomePod. Our system is built on Linux and uses Raspberry Pi devices as controllers. Very secure. Run that through a VPN for outside connectivity and you’re good to go.
Absolutely. The app makers themselves are the danger. And their own security is not up to par so they get hacked instead and in turn your information/security/access indirectly. So the real problem is not being hacked directly, but indirectly through the services themselves as the conduit because they have open channels.
Hey - You “IT types” - I want to run a local captive portal/hotspot here in the neighborhood - serving up files from a local website ONLY.
Like, the Federalist Papers, video of Ron Paul questioning Fauci ... things like that.
Any recommendations as to AP (access point), DNS redirector, or server software?
This will *not* have access to the internet per se, *only* files I serve up from my own server ...
I saw a PBS show ‘This Old House’ and they installed a smart lock for the front door that could be opened by remote control. Stupid idea. A key works all the time.
Power goes out or the remote stops working or you are paying monthly as some garage door companies charge for their door opening and you do not pay the bill or they go out of business? You are locked out of your home.
#23 I have a manager at work who has 7 Siri devices in their home... They must like talking to bots.
