re: #226 A hollow voice says Vaccinate the world!

I won’t hook up “smart” anything because I consider it a security risk. No way I’m telling the universe about my shopping habits. (Of course a few places I do business with know what I’ve bought from them, although mostly I use cash, even after covid.)

Paranoia is heightened awareness.

I have a Ring doorbell. I might contemplate smart lights. I will NOT:

1) Ever install a smart thermostat, or another device that might kill me;
2) Connect any (supposedly) smart appliance to the Internet.

Most days, I barely have enough intelligence to keep myself alive. I don’t trust any computer to be as smart as I am. And that’s before I get into security.
