When I was in the market for bulbs Hue was just starting that BS. They lost that sale and I've been in the process of removing network access for everything possible and severely restricting it when not. My old Honeywell wifi thermostat is gone, smart appliances are disconnected from wifi, and TVs are blocked by my firewall when they aren't actually being used. Next up, Graphene OS.
Sometimes I'd like to move to a tropical island with no news or Internet at all.
I want to move to a cabin in the mountains near the ocean. Maybe the northern fjords of scandinavia. Somewhere cold. Fuck sitting still and sweating. But otherwise I'm on board with this idea too. lol
