ive used smart light bulbs in a botnet before

Yeah that’s why I never mentioned WiFi ones. Which can still be secured by not letting them access the rest of the network or the internet. That’s what we do in industrial automation, security standards for PLC software tend to suck, but that’s irrelevant if it can’t be reached.

and if you do a teardown on one of those locks you can probably get the firmware and uart to get the unlock function which you could use theoretically to unlock every single one

I don’t see how that’s relevant for a lock that’s inside an armoured door, it’s only accessible by disassembling the door, at which point unlocking it is moot.

And we see the results.

Lazy can be good, but sometimes you need hard work.

No, not just the US

You don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Yeah but it’s refundable if you buy something

-pilled comes from red-pilled which is a reference to The Matrix, created by the Wachowski sisters, who latter declared it to be heavily influenced by their experiences as transitionin women, so the public using it is just taking it back from the losers.

Yeah I live in a city with decent public transportation, but unfortunately my neighborhood is the one that’s poorly serviced, it’d take me two hours and multiple changes to get to work, it takes me 35 minutes by car and 20 by motorbike.
Of course I take the latter as often as possible, it’s just better, even on fuel consumption.

I’d like to bicycle to work like I did to my previous job, but here it’s just not an option, it’d take over one hour, I’d get there drenched in sweat, and risk my life multiple times.

Again, my door is armored and I live in an apartment high up enough that climbing, while possible, is challenging.
Together with non-flashy vehicles and the complete absence of anything valuable (besides RAM!), we’re not an interesting target. Even if someone broke in they’d have to be an electronics enthusiast to find anything worth stealing.

Yeah, that’s the point of my comment

Yeah but, at least in my country, cars can’t be on the road (which would be the internet in this case), without passing the periodic inspection.

ZigBee, Z-wave and Thread have virtually 0 attack surface from an IoT perspective, and even then what are they gonna do, do radio hacking to turn off and on my lights? It’s not like they can be used in a botnet.
Locks is a bit more risky as an endeavor, but again, it’s probably easier to pick the lock than hack it… Actually with the quality of many smart locks, smashing them is easier still.

Smart TVs are way more problematic devices for example, as soon as they stop receiving updates, you have a bunch of high-speed internet connected devices with unresolved exploits just sitting there waiting for the right chance.

I was considering a smart lock for my (armored) front door, but just because there are some locks manufactured here in Italy that can be set to be controlled by external contacts.
Which means I could use and ESP or similar with esphome, now they also support wired, ethernet ones.
That’s way more secure than the shitty lock I have now, I’ve seen videos of people picking that with a decoder device in 30 seconds.

Grade refers to the minimum specifications tho, they don’t even describe the whole product

Time is money tho

25km each way is, best case scenario, 1h per trip, in that case if public transport is not an option, yeah, I’d take the car

Lack of empathy. As society we could do so much if we started caring for each other, working to lift everyone to the same level.

No, not of the Pope I’d say

Just some raiders having fun with corpses
