“Riots”
This, children, is why you do not connect your appliances to WiFi.
This is also why I don’t connect my solar inverters to the web either.
Attacking grocery stores? Is it time for that white flag of surrender of which our French pals are so famous?
This same thing happened to several US military commissaries a month or two ago.
Have you noticed that never happens with beer?
I dont need an internet connected fridge, washer, dryer, hvac...
Just a lot more failure points, and of course, security risks.
Les Mousquetaires”? It wasn’t Disney, was it?
The article says Stop & Shop, Giant, and Food Lion, all big US chains, have been taken off line.
Safeway and Lidl seem to be online.
Yikes...
“I dont need an internet connected fridge, washer, dryer, hvac...”
Absolutely true, no one needs this. The reason manufacturers want you to use your smart phone to control things, is it is cheaper to build a product that doesn’t have any physical buttons. I have a JBL party box portable boom box, and I wanted to turn down the bass. It doesn’t have the usual slider to adjust the tone. But you can do it from your phone. That saves JBL a few dollars because they don’t need to install a physical slider. probably more reliable also, but less secure and more of a pain, if you phone isn’t charged you can’t do anything, you have 100 different apps to figure out, etc. But cheaper for sure.
They shouldn’t spoil too much food; if this World wide drought continues, there is going to be a real shortage of food.
A large shortage may develop here in the USA since the dems brought in 20million extra mouths to feed.
“This same thing happened to several US military commissaries a month or two ago.”
And from what i hear from some retirees, it took a week or morre to restore service in some places.
Looks like it’s Bud? Just as well.
exactly. the fault here belongs to the idiot that put their fridge controls on the internet
