Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

And a properly secured network can’t be compromised by some amateur thief sitting in their car. Point was that foolproof security is a fantasy.

I think the real point is that mechanical locks don't track when you leave and enter your home like electronic ones do. Not whether they are better or worse than mechanical.

Point is reducing attack surface by not having internet connected lock 🙄

A “hacker” breaking into your house is a fantasy. If some one wants in they are….breaking….into your house. Ie breaking your door or window. Mechanical or not doesn’t make a difference. It’s all security theater. However you can know the status of internet connected locks at least.

I'm not just talking about locks. I'm talking about the concept of IoT itself.
