I'm pretty scared about the future of the internet with things like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa

IoT is really silly

As someone who loves tech and who loves to tinker with things, I'd probably want some automated stuff in my home

But I most probably will built it myself instead of relying on other outside services

i mean ultimately what you would be doing is just remaking a Arduino/Raspberry Pi board

and then configuring it to what you want

that's all that's in these devices for the most part haha, proprietary embedded systems

throw in a WiFi chip and BTH chip and bam you can control it via the network

in which case you get to the fun time of securing your app

pretty much

i might end up living in a condo/apt for a long while cause im not too interested in owning a home so home automation will be interesting

Mine would probably work locally only, I wouldn't risk opening it to the web

what if your cleaning robot revolts

plus I see no reason to control my house when I'm not in my house

Really hard to do so haha

and yeah right Alex?

Unless you program them to randomly revolt at a time for some unknown reasons, they won't Joshua

me

i did once make a small program on my research robot to "hit" me if it sees me at 6pm in the evening

does it hirt

hurt

not at all haha
i even set the motor speed to be max

but it was about as light of a tap as you could imagine

Now we need to find one that makes it hurt

I wish I had friends like you irl to talk about this kind of stuff

irl friends arent real u know that

it's usually discord where i talk about this stuff as well

my IRL ones I talk about games, anime, and real life shit

My IRL ones are non existent

There is a guy still talk to from middle school but we only meet up like once a year
