And where can I witness this extremely common event?
Highschool, followed shortly by Jail.
-
@Vixen High school was a while ago for me, but as I recall most of the time was spent sitting at a desk, where if you had some potentially embarrassing lower bodily function you could hide it pretty well and/or excuse yourself before the entire school saw it

apparently standards have changed?
or people who say shit like what started this whole conversation remember scool more from pornhub than actual school.

@Vixen IS "blood everywhere" a common porn category?

That's not my interpretation of the video. At least, not that third part.

@JBert said in Internet of shit:

But is it a smart thing to do?
The name "KNOB Attack" takes on a whole new meaning. One might rather call it a vulvarability in this context.

@boomzilla That's what he gets for having a weak password.

@hungrier 100 years ago the patent office apocryphally said "everything that can be invented has been invented", and people have been ridiculing that idea.
It now seems we have indeed reached that point and people are just piling garbage on everything to come up with new solutions looking for a problem.
-
@hungrier I actually like the idea, if it can do arbitrary units. Sometimes you have a recipe that calls for 3.25 quarts, or 80 ml, and it's a pain in the ass if you don't have a tool in the right combination of size and measurement units, and have to break out your phone to do an awkward conversion with your hands all dirty. With this you could stick any random receptacle into the sink and ask for what you want.
But of course, I'm sure it will have some fatal flaw. Like requiring that Alexa device in the thumbnail...

@HannibalRex "Okay, dispensing 925 gallons."

@TwelveBaud damn, you right. Also, I remembered this, probably from somewhere back in this same thread

but wasting $250 on not selling it seems pretty foolish.
Well, if you're foolish enough to buy Sonos in the first place

@hungrier said in Internet of shit:
Is it going to trundle down the street to the store? 'Cuz if I don't have any in the bathroom, I don't have any anywhere else whence it could reasonably fetch it.

My money is on someone read: "'Internet of shit?' Isn't that just the business we're in?"
And thus this nonsense was born.

Speaking of Sonos

Apparently the worst lock in the world is back at CES
-
@hungrier I don't think I've seen any smart locks pass by yet which didn't have a near-trivial physical bypass.

it’s a self-heating lunchbox, which means you will need to charge the 18,000mAh battery and also add a little water to the box in order to steam the food. To activate the box, you’ll just need to use the companion app.

Putting a fukkin button on the box was too much?!

@Vixen A button? That's not nearly Smart™ enough!

You can't call it "smart" if you don't need to use your phone to control it.

Presumably the battery is included inside the box
-
@hungrier It would have been such a useful idea (there are places with shortage of decent restaurants nearby and no microwave where people have to work) if they just added a simple knob on it instead of controlling it from another stupid application.

@Bulb said in Internet of shit:

And a cord to plug it in the wall and skip the battery/recharging

Oh, ok. I presumed that the battery was additional weight, but if it's inside the box, then never mind.
-
@MrL Well yeah, it's bulkier and heavier than an empty lunch box or plastic container, but an extra couple hundred g for a battery isn't much compared to the food you store in it

The One+, in particular, feels heavy in the hand and reminds me of holding a bigger Masterlock.
Thats... not a good thing.
Still, maybe these lock turn out to be decent

@MrL Is at least self-refrigerating, too, until you're ready to heat it up and eat it? It's not great if it heats the food, but it's spoiled while you're waiting for lunchtime.
-
@hungrier said in Internet of shit:
The Heatbox is a self-heating lunchbox that uses steam
I guess Valve has really started to innovate because of Epic...
to heat up food.
Oh.

who can't access Ring?
According to something I read earlier, apparently the camera owner. I don't know if that's accurate, but some article claimed it took many repeated, often ignored requests to Ring to get access.

LOL - and I was about to make a joke about that... shoulda known it could actually be true

With the Internet of Shit, your most impossible fears are the most likely to be fact....

@Tsaukpaetra The only limit is yourself, with zombo.com!

@Tsaukpaetra I fear they're going to implement security correctly. My fears are groundless...

So close! But yet, so far...

I was getting uncomfortable somewhere around minute 15 when we hadn't seen any obvious problems yet in a master product.

The previous one is better because you see all the ways this lock was well designed, then you see the huge security hole
