I just installed a new garage door opener yesterday and they are trying to get me to install an app so Amazon can open my door. What kind of shit is this?

People are dumb. My stereo keeps wanting me to allow internet access. I keep saying “not just no, but hell no!”.

I like being able to control volume and such from an app while I’m on my local lan, but there is no reason whatsoever to be able to control it from the internet itself.

Fortunately, I can restrict outbound and inbound access via my router’s ACLs and firewalls
