I put Windows 8.1 in my toaster. It still sucks.

ahhh....the Good Old Days where all you had to do was walk up to the toaster and say "five!"

I remember that episode as a kid in the 80s and it scared the crap out of me! My parents had to assure me that it was just a TV show.
Now I’m more worried than I was then at the potential of this stuff become all too real.

Reminds me of this scifi short story where parents take their children for IQ tests. If a child is found to be TOO smart they are euthanized. (I think testing was at 5yrs old). The government office did it for the good of the children. That sounds like Examination Day by Henry Slesar
Be careful if you go to the page and read the comments. It appears that a lot of the people posting were allowed to live, and even given civil service jobs, after the test.

Windows 15 will probably be put directly into your brain via a micro chip.

This is nothing new.

On Monday, Microsoft unveiled Windows 10 IoT (short for the idiotically named "Internet of Things"). I wonder why the idiotically named "David Goldman" would think such a thing...

Thing of all of the interesting data that your smart toilet, smart bed and smart comfy chair could gather.

This brings to mind my reaction to one of those advertisements that run on “non-commercial” public radio, from a company which professes that its online meeting platform will allow users to “connect to meetings from any device”: From my toaster? My toaster is a device.
Evidently in the not too distant future if Microsoft has their way...

Get up to flip light switch, 5 seconds.
Boot up computer, load light switch software, connect to password protected light switch via www, 15 minutes.
The clapper was way ahead of it’s time.

Maybe MS should make sure it works in PC’s before they put it in a toaster.

Im keeping my home automation free. Ive yet to become so lazy that I need an app to turn on my lights or burn toast. The most valuable role of home automation is to do things when you are not at home, or when you are asleep, busy, or otherwise unable to attend to the needs of the equipment. A small home - say, a 2BR apartment - does not need automation. A ranch house may need it because there is a well water pump that you run on schedule (at night, when the energy is cheaper) and there is booster pump that you run only when you are at home, and there is water heater and the circulation pump that you run when you need hot water, and there are external lights that you only need when you are walking outside at night, and a pool that comes with a filter pump and a cover pump, and... You can run all that manually, but it quickly becomes tedious.
