Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •The Internet of Things isn't benign.
1. Manufacturers aren't satisfied with making & selling just cars & appliances anymore.
It's an additional revenue stream from selling your privacy to 3rd parties, foreign & domestic.
2. It uses up internet & cellular bandwidth & electricity at a prodigious rate. Brownouts & blackouts get more frequent.
It's driving up utility rates everywhere.
That artificially inflated demand is misused as justification to thwart a fossil fuel...
