years ago, i bought an Echo Dot for my home automation system. it was great.

then, while testing out some digital signage devices, i bought a Firestick. connected that to my TV, and it said “one moment, while i connect to your network.” i literally said out loud “good luck without my (very complicated) password!”

somehow, it connected successfully. i instantly disconnected both devices from power, and properly disposed of them, and changed my network password.

i had always assumed the Echo Dot just handed the password over, but now i have doubts!

that’s really a pointless feature, since it doesn’t really take all that long to load the data yourself…

i hate that comma, placement

yeah - i am now thinking i want to move away from anything that leaves me exposed. i have a few services that are nice to be able to access remotely, but it’s time to reconsider how much i actually NEED to access those services.

thanks for breaking it down for me!

no - i get that, but the article says new OS will require M-Series. isn’t that something different?

seems silly that a brand new (wildly successful) piece of hardware might not be getting an update, after less than 6 months on the market…

what about their new Neo MacBooks? no mention there.
