"I just figured out how to disable the wifi in our new oven" is not something I ever expected to type, but here we are.

I got one of the newer Roombas on sale, one of the ones with wifi controls. And I’d basically accommodated the idea that it was going to go on my wifi, even though that makes me uncomfortable.

And then I went to set it up today and it wants me to make an account, and it registered to me that “go on the wifi” means that it’s going on the internet, and talking to a server outside of my house. I had sort of had a mental model that my phone would be talking directly to the roomba, not that it was going through some sort of service external to my apartment.

And that realization broke my psychological accommodation and now I’m seriously considering controlling it just from the physical interface, even though that’s really impoverished. And I’m pretty sure this is silly, but I’m really uncomfortable with (1) making accounts and (2) connecting devices to the internet.

Remember, kids, “internet of things” is an abbreviation; it’s short for “internet of things that shouldn’t be on the internet.”

The marketing proposition for smart devices is so fucking insane.

“We will sell you an electric toothbrush for $20 which connects to Wi-Fi and will stop working if you don’t pay $7.99 a month” is already batshit insane, but it gets worse.

“Our app helps you track your progress with TeethLine, a timeline of daily selfies, so you can see your smile start to sparkle! What we don’t tell you is that these pictures use image recognition to track the products in your bathroom and sell that information to advertisers.”

And just when you thought your toothbrush sending you acne med ads was insulting enough they’re like

“Also, we store all these photos unencrypted in a system administered by an unpaid intern with a drinking problem who will absolutely save and leak pictures of girls who make his dick hard. Oh, and we forward black people’s selfies to the cops by default” and Wired magazine will name it best product of the year.

A lot of ghost stories can be abstracted into that there is a "state" where there should be none; houses keeping the routines of the old dead owners, dolls remembering the name of kids...

With Internet of Things we are basically making everything haunted by introducing hidden states to our everyday objects. This brings up a need for proper digital exorcists.

We are building a world filled with witchcraft and wonders.

Why did you post the pics of the woman on the toilet? Why would you do that? And the pics of the child? It doesn't seem like you really believe in privacy if you perpetuate the violation by sharing those pics. You should delete and repost with them.

[re: this post]

Nah, I’m not doing that. Its good as is. Their faces were blanked out. Besides, unlike my little blog, that post was simply an excerpt from an article that has probably already been seen and read thousands and thousands of times. You gon write MIT Technology Review and bitch at them too?

SN: it’s a really good article, I fully suggest people read it in its entirety (link to article—with faces blacked out—here)

The real problem is that Roombas (iRobot, Amazon, etc) are taking identifiable pictures and they are doing next to nothing to protect the people’s privacy or their identities - the unredacted pictures literally ended up on Facebook, FFS! To reiterate what was in the article: “the images reveal a whole data supply chain—and new points where personal information could leak out—that few consumers are even aware of”

Look, I don’t mind accommodating people’s reasonable wishes on social media, but some of you get carried away when you start demanding what I should or shouldn’t post on my own blog. I could understand if I was posting stuff that was anti-Black racism, or misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, etc… You know that if you don’t like what I’m posting, you can go make a post of your own, right? If you are even a semi-regular follower of mine, then you should know that I am not down with pissy little, passive aggressive foolishness like this. Next thing you know, you’ll be complaining to HR that my “sighing” is negatively impacting your mental wellbeing

Sorry, anon, I’m not giving in to your … concern trolling or whatever this is supposed to be

Grow up

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
