The_Hat 06/18/21 10:35:46 PM #58:	Oh wow this topic got some people pretty heated. To those arguing in favor of this, I skimmed the article before posting but I did not see anything about opting in. If you truly did have a bunch of warnings then it's not as bad. That said, the original point of this topic was to warn anyone in Texas to look out for this if they have medical issues which could be aggravated by the heat. --- https://www.twitch.tv/mattthehat I stream Beat Saber Monday-Friday at midnight PST!

That's why they hide those remote access details in tiny font, behind tons of text. There's a reason why I don't want IoT & Smart Devices. It's shit like this that I don't have faith in the security of modern IoT. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:955189582] in Texas is r...

Tyranthraxus 06/18/21 11:08:39 PM #60:	Laserion posted... Can't you just remove the thermostat and install a regular one? Put the smart one in the garage (not connected to any AC) and let them think it's hot as hell in your house. The thermostat will know if there's no signal. You'd also need a fake AC that doesn't do anything to connect it to. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:955189714] in Texas is r...
