Why the hell would I want my refrigerator, dish washer, TV, printer, and washer & dryer connected to the internet 24/7? Pro tip, I DON'T want that.
But three letter alphabet agencies and advertisers would LOVE that. Imagine all the data they can gather (more than they can already gather from your smart meters.)
Any shills want to chime in? Do you have any shill talking points on this matter?

The shills are going to go down any road that isn't this: IoT is about integrated systems which consume and produce your life events. Consuming your life events is one thing, you might be used to this. These devices producing your life events, this is the new hot shit.
Imagine all the ways an experience in your own home can be sold to you...These will be the shill talking points. Think about conveniences for the wagie in his cagie.
>Imagine all the ways an experience in your own home can be sold to you
so, advertisement? we already have that.
I think the focus will be convenience, like you said. like, "imagine starting your laundry while away from home using the whirpool app on your phone" and shit like that. "automatically order more laundry detergent by having the washer connected to the internet!"
They're already doing this with alexa and google home, they just need to make it normal, which they are as more people are growing up in homes like this.
The big impact is at work. Where you don't make many of the choices.
so mind control?
I know why the caged wagie sings.
No, Mark of Beast
The marketing idea is that it can make your life easier by removing all the little tasks that take your time throughout the day.
Your fridge can order your food when you run out, your washing machine orders detergent when it recognizes the detergent is low and it will monitor activity and use allowing for it to recommend changes to improve things.
The reality is 99% of the benefits go to the company and extra headaches go to the consumer as even your fucking light bulbs now have another failure point.
Companies push it because it is a giant data collection device, can carry direct advertisements and even facilitates direct purchasing.
Nice quick rundown.
What can we do to stop it?
If your fridge isn't connected to the internet, how will your ice machine know when it's empty and needs to order more ice?
I work in the hardware end of IT, and here's my opinion on the Internet of Things: Most appliances have absolutely no reason to go beyond LAN, if for some reason, you want your appliances to do something while you're not home, they should go through a proxy with proper security. That said, there are very few appliances that have any need for computerization at all unless you are having robots interact with them.
dont forget forced obsolescence, they get to decide when its "expired" particularly cloud support appliances.. (camera, thermostat, etc).. thry do it with phones now..
ERR: SORRY YOUR FRIDGE SUBSCRIPTION HAS EXPIRED
This, colleges are installing echo dots wholesale everywhere. People are idiots.
I personally can not wiat unitl someone dies of starvation due to an error in which thier cell phone says there is no food in the fridge, yet....
By stoppping the system, but you won't do that; you're too comfortable.
wait, there was a plan to have them connect independently?
I'm assuming that the IoT devices are properly designed, but from my experience, it's very likely that the only way that's going to happen is if you take a "dumb" device and add computerization as needed.
shut up Ted Kaczynski, how did you get internet access in prison?
I wouldn’t mind having groceries delivered to the house. That fucking ten mile walk through the store for dinner is a time waste
i cant fucking stant convenience whores. every single one of them thinks they are so important that their time is worth more than a dog's shit, and yet every single one of them is a thoughtless soiboi.
A lot of these smart home items don't actually save time and those that do have costs.
Many things that you would turn on away from home like the washing machine are pointless and those that have a point may be dangerous (heating up anything for cooking).
Ordering milk and things may be easier than getting it at the store but it will be more expensive and unless you buy the same shit every week for it to reorder and trust someone else to pick you fresh vegetables you will be going to the grocery store anyway giving you the opportunity to buy milk, eliminating most of the convenience.
Its a meme. Go buy a shack innawoods. Find a hippy QT to join you.
So you can check out Facebook while you stuff your face with burgers. Duh.
Most of the "things," run a static version of Linux that never gets updated or patched.
NO one wants this shit, just like driving cars.
It is just part of the globalist hellhole being built around us..
They want it so they can have your referigerator automaticly order an expensive product when it is used or becomes expired. It is to get that money from you reliably without the risk of you shopping at a competitor.
>once self-driving cars become prevalent, non-self-driving cars will have to be prohibited
>tfw in the future people won't be able to drive cars at all and will never know what it was like
well, i guess the vision is to have a fridge aware of it's contents, through rfid or image recognition, and keep a history. such info could be routed to your phone via ipv6, and your phone's gps could be referenced to send you coupons valid nearby if your fridge doesn't have an item it usually does. app developer now has your eating habits on file, sells to insurance companies, going against your interests.
>implying your motor laws are any match for my red barchetta....
things like dish washers and clothes appliances could use IoT like so: power company gives discounts to those who pre-load their dishes and clothes. power company sends a packet that starts the washing based on supply and demand to the grid, a sort of load balancing no pun intended.
internet printer is a pretty stupid idea, i see no real use for it except for being spied on. at best it could be used to make a pay per use printer say in coffee shops or airports. internet connectivity could use something like SNMP to communicate ink and paper levels, pages printed, etc.
I thought the same thing.

About the reference that is, not your hopefulness for continuing rebellion in the future. I mean, 2112 totally ended with the guy killing himself.
Do not buy. That's an option for now, at least. Learn to make your own appliances, which is quite a big task (haven't read up on it yet). Likely smarter to learn to repair some of the older ones. You only truly need a refridgerator and oven to survive, at least reasonably.
IoT has a lot of good uses, but wait for the intentional backdoors to go public. a real shitshow ensues.
Same reason apple created the apple store. Everyone has a fucking apple store in their pocket.
low hanging fruit
that comic is the 100% the reason for the immigration crisis. whites are tapped out and in too much debt. So they need new, debt free, consumers to buy things. And niggers are low IQ so they spend ALL their money on status symbol goods. Next they will start offering migrant cheap debt (like credit cards and car loans) who cares if they can't pay it back, its all about current growth
hey that's my invention, the fries inside the burger.
My college is installing Alexas in the new dorm rooms
A class I took looked into it a few years ago. The idea is that the IoT is inevitable, because profits. It will be more profitable to have a 24/7 automated factory that is completely monitored off site for any problems that may arise during normal operation. Literally every "thing" will be able to be controlled remotely. Lighting, ventilation, mechanization. This will likely have uses outside of automated work production, such as home use. It is probably being hijacked by alphabet soup to increase their always expanding influence.
>casually mention that you have IoT on facebook
>the fridge starts ordering dildos
>the washer and dryer both start ordering dildos
>every light in the house is ordering big black dildos
>there are thousands of fucking dildos on the front porch and a $10,000 charge on the credit card with the description "BUTTSTRETCHERS LLC"
This is such a great idea, I hope every normie household adopts IoT
>through the store
We haven't reached idiocracy levels yet
