@kaffeeringe I saw the original tweet the day it was posted
I still agree with that text

@kaffeeringe mechanical locks are pretty hackable too though.

@curufuin But individually. Not systematically via internet.

@kaffeeringe I used to use "smart oven" as a cautionary extreme end state for smart tech where it can literally burn your house down if someone gets access to it

@ben @kaffeeringe There are also smart insulin pumps and smart pacemakers that can be controlled over Bluetooth. It's not quite IP-on-the-open-internet, but someone in the same cafe could give you a lethal insulin dose from their phone.
