years ago, i bought an Echo Dot for my home automation system. it was great.
then, while testing out some digital signage devices, i bought a Firestick. connected that to my TV, and it said “one moment, while i connect to your network.” i literally said out loud “good luck without my (very complicated) password!”
somehow, it connected successfully. i instantly disconnected both devices from power, and properly disposed of them, and changed my network password.
i had always assumed the Echo Dot just handed the password over, but now i have doubts!


that’s really a pointless feature, since it doesn’t really take all that long to load the data yourself…


yeah - i am now thinking i want to move away from anything that leaves me exposed. i have a few services that are nice to be able to access remotely, but it’s time to reconsider how much i actually NEED to access those services.
you just described my ex


thanks for breaking it down for me!


no - i get that, but the article says new OS will require M-Series. isn’t that something different?
seems silly that a brand new (wildly successful) piece of hardware might not be getting an update, after less than 6 months on the market…


what about their new Neo MacBooks? no mention there.


i wonder if this is why the US is looking at raising the age of enlistment to 42? as soon as the law is passed, Palantir manages to secure some sort of contract, where they get to suck up all that data
great looking software, but RomM handles WAYYYY more systems than this
