A WiFi network called "Balenciaga Porta-Loo". I guess that's the #InternetOfShit

@almonds We bought a new fridge and a new washer last year and it was basically impossible (at our price range) to find non- #InternetOfShit devices. We keep ours offline but why is online the default for washers and fridges?!

Anyone have ridiculous #InternetOfShit examples you're really fond of?

Toasters, coffee machines, or microwaves that don't work without Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Vacuum, TV, or toothbrush botnets. Preferably something you have a picture of, from first hand experience.

I teach an #EmbeddedSystems class, and it's good to show examples of what *not* to do, in case they pursue the industry. (Boost for reach appreciated)

I generated a long-form essay on The Age of #Enshittification🚽 - How Predatory Corporations Weaponize Science to Deceive, Downsize, and Dominate the Modern Consumer - Nothing new…just a deep dive. I did the research and just pulled the whole story together in one long essay thinking it would be a useful reference. Once the dots are connected in this way, the story becomes even more insidious and ominous. Y’all know we’re being manipulated and controlled, but did you know how and how much? If you get through this tome, I hope you’ll have the WHOLE picture of how #SurveillanceCapitalism combined with science like #BehavioralEconomics are screwing us all.

@brett I love the idea of this, but hate that bidirectional charging almost promises the EV will be part of the #InternetofShit, which, admittedly they all are these days. But I don't want to get further locked in.

So google introducing google home subscriptions. Everyone gather round, we’re about to watch the #enshittification of home assistants/speakers. #internetofshit would be proud.
