@ploppy @pr @hart simpel:

  • Wann sind Leute da, deren Routine,

  • wie gut sind diese finanziell gestellt (höherer Grundverbrauch = ältere Geräte = weniger Geld, höherer Spitzenverbrsuch = mehr Geräte = mehr Geld.

  • Aind die Leute in Urlaub oder auf Arbeit?

Halt alles was #Einbrecher und #Spione für nen Bruch wissen wollen - und das ohne sich wo "auffällig unauffällig" zur Observation hinzubegeben...

  • Stattdessen als schön per #API massenhaft abgreifbare Daten (bei "#Datenleck" / #Hack der Versorgers bzw. Hersteller) die dann wahrscheinlich noch nach Addresse filterbar ist.

Organisierte #Einbrecherbanden können damit quasi jeden Tag nen anderen Bruch mit minimalem Risiko vorausplanen!

Und das sind nur die Szenarien welche mir in 5 Minuten eingefallen sind.

  • Und wie wir bei #VW gesehen haben kann mit #InternetOfShit-Daten dieser Größenordnung superviel gemacht werden.

Von #Einbrüchen über #Erpressung bis hin zu #Abrechnungsbetrug geht da quasi alles.

Dear Google - kindly and sincerely, get fucked. In 2013 we built a new house and installed Nest thermostats in each of the 3 HVAC zones because we wanted the house to be energy efficient. A year ago, one of the thermostats got bumped so I replaced it. The same model wasn't available so I took what I could get. This thermostat has a serious bug - when heating, about once a month it would call for heat and never shut it off. There have been no firmware updates and none scheduled. Recently you announced that these thermostats are no longer supported by the Nest app. You "generously" offered discounts on current models. Yeah...no. I got three refurbished ecobee thermostats for less than 2 of your replacements.
Isn't your mantra supposed to be "don't be evil?"
Clearly that ship has sailed. #internetOfShit #enshittification #google

Seriously, I agree with @geerlingguy and I'll refuse to buy @internetofshit / #InternetOfShit devices.

There is no legitimate reason a #Dishwasher needs #Internet access or an #App.

  • You know what my #WashingMachine needs to start (or finish) at a certain time? Me knowing how many hours it'll be from now on till it has to start (and some 2nd grade math to add the time till the program finishes)... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SHITTY CLOCK INSIDE!!!

Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!

Wow, had the shittiest web experience probably ever trying the #Couchsurfing site:

  • no warning on sign-up that you actually have to pay
  • email spam once a day telling me to do stuff I can’t do as I haven’t paid
  • unsubscribe link brings up a page that needs tens of checkboxes to be unchecked to actually unsubscribe to things
  • decided to just delete the account which requires … a recaptcha, because why not annoy the user even more at this stage!
  • account deletion just responds with an error 🤦🤪

My brother had been using wifi battery monitors on his, his girlfriend's, and my cars for the last few years since we don't drive every day. Apparently they were dependent on a cloud service that the company discontinued, bricking them all! 🧱
In looking up if anyone has found a way to use them without the cloud, I just found vendors still selling the now useless devices. The Deltran Battery Tender 081-0172. 🤦‍♂️

Oh yeah, I owe a positive update to my bitching about Internet Of Shit the other week!
