But for the sake of discussion here, I do think there's a potential Achilles heel to having the whole world in a cloud.
I don’t disagree, however given that the rest of the system which provides electrons to the “in” side of your meter is operated and governed by computers, how do you quantify the additional risk? The term Achilles heel refers to a single catastrophic vulnerability. If Achilles were alive today, he would be one giant heel, if you think about what could happen, rather than what is likely to happen.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t think about what could happen (while using a handheld device that basically runs our lives, which shows that we generally only worry about the risk of things we don’t like), but if you follow that argument to its logical conclusion you end up living in the wilderness being followed around by a Discovery Channel film crew.
'Heel' Just saying

...not sure I see the issue with the scenario you propose, in the wilderness...so long as there's a track, so I can drive my non-connected 4200s!I don’t disagree, however given that the rest of the system which provides electrons to the “in” side of your meter is operated and governed by computers, how do you quantify the additional risk?

You know that the conspiracy is more than just theory, right?I'm not a conspiracy theorist, mostly because i've spent enough time working for the government...take that as you will!
But my handheld device does nothing more than email, text, make calls, and allow me to look at this site every once in a while, whilst in a meeting!
"Alexa, switch on the wallpaper - oh and enable its recording function......."Here's a new one, electrically heated walls. Presumably interior walls.
Farewell radiators? Testing out electric infrared wallpaper
Pilots are being run around the UK to see if electric wallpaper could be an efficient way to heat homes.www.bbc.co.uk
LOL.....I was thinking the same thing! It does a lot more than that even if you don't do itYou think?

I guess the phrase of being careful what you say as the wall has ears could be very true very soon"Alexa, switch on the wallpaper - oh and enable its recording function......."
Agreed. I wonder how low level it goes beyond software though especially with Google developing their one CPU's. You can turn it off in software but if Google have control at every level below it isn't off at all!It does. I mean, it can be stopped, but it ain't easy

Point taken, but I did do the whole Magisk thing; de-Googled; and locked down all that I can...You think?

So, now you are gonna live INSIDE a toaster...?Here's a new one, electrically heated walls. Presumably interior walls.

(yes. Tell no one. The Eagle Flies at Midnight!)You know that the conspiracy is more than just theory, right?
The only way you will do it in a modern car is disconnect the battery and not use it.It does. I mean, it can be stopped, but it ain't easy

I am.I'm not a conspiracy theorist, mostly because i've spent enough time working for the government...take that as you will!
I'm surprised, you didn't sayI am.
