Do you ever look at something and think to yourself, "This makes no freekin' sense."? I don't mean the fact that a coffee machine pushed out 1,000 gigabytes of data in ten days, that was almost certainly a glitch in its network system. I mean, why in the name of St. Kaldi would anyone hang a coffeepot on the internet? When a heat-producing device is at hand and best operated by hand, does it in any way shape or form need this capability? It's akin to having a remote control for a car radio, except worse because it reaches out into the rest of the world – and lets that world reach into your coffee pot.
Look, the internet of things has its uses, but you'd better have some competent programming and real security to back it up. A coffeepot isn't worth the trouble. Best comment is in the inset image.
Back to your regularly unscheduled October Surprise hurricane.
