You chose the smart vacuum. You didn't choose the smart lock on your front door.
One you can unplug. The other? You're forced to use it. You can't swap it for a dumb deadbolt. You can't opt out. It's in the lease.
Your home shouldn't be a surveillance tool you can't turn off.

Ep. 20 of #ImpracticalPrivacy is here and we’re talking Zombie Accounts.🧟♂️
Think about that forum you joined in 2014 to fix a coding error. The pizza app you used once for a coupon. The site that went bankrupt in 2024 but sold your database to a "recovery firm."
To you, those are dead pixels. To a data broker, they are an Identity Buffet.
It's time to perform the autopsy.🩺
