RT Lesley Carhart ‏@hacks4pancakes:

Think of the "internet of things" as letting 100 strangers walk through your home or work every day to press buttons on all your appliances.

I've been watching the amount of chatter of a few things in my house. It's impressive . We specifically don't have connected "appliances" on purpose. Our other devices are plentiful and bad enough.

I found that I've actually bought more X-10 things in the past year than I had in all of the previous 12 of owning this house. I decided I wanted to get things that didn't talk to "the outside world" while still giving me some benefits, and I figure X-10 is bad enough that it'll be replaced by some IoT thing soon, so I'd better buy spares now.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
