That means no more generic default credentials for a hacker to guess.
Strictly speaking, admin:admin is not really a guess. You could even go to the device's homepage, download the user guide and get the password with no guessing involved.
@hungrier said in Internet of shit:
@Cursorkeys How many times are they going to have the same problem?
I'm guessing twice a year.
EDIT - Dang it, pagination betrayed me.

I'm gonna guesstwicebetween zero and four times a year (per time zone per country).FTFY. Time is harder than you think it is, even when you take into account Hofsteader's Law. And governments suck.

So that's why the EU is abandoning DST! Apple lobbied them because it was too hard to support.

Hi Solibie, we're really sorry to hear this. We’re currently performing some maintenance to our Smart Home app, which may have affected your ability to use your Conexis if accessed via this app.9:37 pm - 11 Oct 2018
We’re very sorry but whilst working to fix the app we have experienced an unforeseen issue and the app is now temporarily unavailable. We can only apologise for the inconvenience this is causing our customers. Our team are continuing to work through the night to restore the app.10:58 am - 11 Oct 2018
Further I would note that if I was not following you on Twitter I would not know. I dont log on to the app very often as I rely on emails about status change in my currently house. At least my heating system tells me if anyone has been in the house.10:24 am - 12 Oct 2018
unfortunately due to the unforeseen app issues, we're unable to inform customers via email or SMS. Please bear with us, we are working to bring you a fix as soon as possible. Your patience is deeply appreciated!2:21 pm - 13 Oct 2018

@DCoder I'm reminded of an article I read where someone was emphatically talking about how you could never go wrong with "real-friggin-steel keys inside real-friggin-steel tumblers".

Though if everybody switches to high-tech electronic locks with an IP address, maybe burglars will soon be confounded by ones that need a real key …

I have no idea. My brother, who's a QA tester and should know better, just got stupid IoT lightbulbs for his office. It has a little extra keypad that you stick to the wall below the
realantique and so-uncool analog lightswitch. But that's a small price to pay so that he can now control the lights from his phone! Except that his desk is literally to the side of the old wall switch...I guess he now has the new functionality that he won't be able to use his lights when the cloud service is down though

Your problem seems to be that you've already bought into this shit way too much.

A combination of "can't trust the kids with a key until they're 18" with "I trust random technology to take care of them"?

@TimeBandit I'm starting to believe the NWO is a real thing, and they really want to off majority of the world population. They plan to do it using IoT devices.

@TimeBandit
Though, at least, he apparently did get a reply and an RMA within 2 hours of his tweet.Which then leaves the question of whether he actually contacted support first and they were awful until he publicly shamed them, or if he tweeted first. Given the modern generation and my experience in support, I'm inclined to go with door #2, but it's close.

Why does the online/app advertising market even still exist?
Pretty soon we're gonna need Net Neutrality to prevent content providers from charging us for their websites, since they won't be able to sell ads off of us either...

investigationNow that's words I've not read in this combination before.

You may be surprised. We're at the point where BuzzFeed occasionally does better journalism than traditional media. Not because BuzzFeed is great, but because lots of traditional media have degenerated into parodies of themselves.

@TimeBandit For $150. Or $80 if you like spilling it.

And I want my coffee to cool down to the point where I can drink it. Once it's cool enough, it gets drunk extremely rapidly indeed…

I can just put it outside for 30 seconds to achieve that

If your coffee's getting drunk, you might be a little too Irish.

It’s kind of hard to drink coffee out of that thing, what with all the racks and stuff in the way, and the square shape also doesn’t seem overly convenient for putting your lips to for drinking. Also, if you fill it with coffee, opening the lid seems like it would spill all of the coffee all over the place.

@Gurth said in Internet of shit:

I'm sure that's configurable through the app. You can probably use the app to find out what the temperature is too. Because why not?

A really long straw. Plastic, of course.

The site says you can switch between °C and °F (no K, sorry). It doesn't specify whether that's on the mug itself or just on the app.

It would be amusing if that thing used the same update model as Windows 10.
Oh, there's an update available. Better apply it and reboot right away.
