Joseph of Earth :fedora: 📎 on Nostr: Part of what annoys me about IoT and getting more things to have internet connections ...
Part of what annoys me about IoT and getting more things to have internet connections is that it normalizes the idea that these devices can only work with an internet connection. In 15 years, the idea that a thermostat could work without internet may seem weird because over time consumers will buy into an assumption that was never true. And they will stop asking for alternatives that don't need Internet until those options become niche.
