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...
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.
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
All the wireless headsets which used to say "noise cancelling" now say "AI noise cancelling".

#InternetOfShit
@carnage4life The #internetOfShit, planned obsolescence, unsupported devices and security vulnerabilities. Not all of these necessary apply to these Google products, but most of them do.
@carnage4life THIS is why I refuse to buy such #InternetOfShit devices and live in a "#StupidHome"!
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.
Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!
Wow, had the shittiest web experience probably ever trying the #Couchsurfing site:
Anyway, we’ll probably just do what we’ve always done and find the one setting that cleans the clothes and just keep pushing that button for the next 5 - 10 years. Apps be damned.
At least I found the setting to turn off the jingles and beeps. #InternetOfShit
Nah, doesn’t work anyway. Needs a 2.4ghz network and Virgin router only putting out 5Ghz.
I’ll just need to muddle through the obtuse on-machine touch controls with the tiny little digital screen instead.
Who’s ever asked for this nonsense.
Setting up a fucking app to use a new washing machine is bad enough but oh of course it needs access to my precise location in order to do it. Never mind the list of tracking and privacy waivers it tried to trick me into agreeing to when setting up the pointless account.
@davidaugust nodds in agreement
The sad part is this isn't even absurd, and I'm convinced people want this garbage since people buy shit worse than #juicero!
@sabrina I still see 802.11b & 802.11g hardware congesting 2,4 GHz here...
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.

at this point what's the purpose of Smart TVs? they've been completely enshittified, and you can easily have it replaced with a huge monitor
Oh yeah, I owe a positive update to my bitching about Internet Of Shit the other week!
Swidget were true to their word and send me a full set of replacement inserts based on my original Kickstarter order. I plugged them in, and they worked great with the new app.
Friendly customer service and doing the right thing. If you want smart outlets, check them out - https://www.swidget.com/
