Good news is that self-hosting with things like Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) , privacy-respecting open source smarthome stuff is becoming a lot more accessible!

Stuff that's heavily encrypted that only you or your household can access.

It all stays local and belongs to the user, instead of relying on some monolithic tech-giant.

I just wish there was a better way to educate people about it, but there's unfortunately billions invested in making sure people forget how technology works and waving shiny exploitative e-waste in front of them instead.
