🐜🤖 Desert Ant Labs: because who doesn't want their phone to have the IQ of a desert ant? They're selling "on-device intelligence" as if everyone wants their phone to start writing poetry on its own 📱✍️. With a model for every little thing, soon your device will be smarter than you, but still unable to find the nearest coffee shop ☕.

Yesterday my Droplet smart water monitoring device notified me that it noticed an unusually water flow. After checking around, somebody (me) left a tap slightly running. This saved me from a larger than usual water bill. Love this device. Works great and integrates with #HomeAssistant .

If you are going to order one use the code HomeTech to save yourself some money. Thank me later.

TechSpot: A smart feeder outage left some cats and dogs without scheduled meals. “Petlibro users reported that pet feeders, fountains, and litter boxes stopped working properly during a service outage that began on Tuesday. For some owners, the problem went beyond losing app access: they said scheduled feedings did not happen.”

Новое облако для умных устройств Яндекса: IoT без хаба, без лишних соединений и без надежды на хороший Wi‑Fi

Убрать обязательный хаб из умного дома — звучит как продуктовое решение. На практике в этой формулировке спрятано много неприятной инженерии. Устройство должно само войти в экосистему, само держать долгоживущее облачное соединение, само обновляться — в общем, всё делать без посредника. И это на железе с ограниченной памятью и слабым CPU, в домашней сети, которая в любой момент может пропасть. На таком масштабе каждый лишний TLS‑коннект, каждая дополнительная аллокация, каждый хрупкий ретрай начинает стоить по‑настоящему дорого. Мощным бэкендом здесь не поможешь: ограничение — на клиентской стороне. Поэтому мы шли в обратную сторону: последовательно убирали лишнюю сложность на каждом слое — от заводского контура до транспортного канала. Мы строим новую платформу для устройств умного дома Яндекса, которая должна держать больше миллиона активных устройств. В этой статье — про конкретные решения: комиссионинг без хаба, один канал вместо зоопарка соединений, однопоточную модель исполнения и дисциплину переподключений на плохой сети.

#CyberSec firm #Spur found that ~ 42% of apps for #LG #WebOS and ~ 25% of apps for #Samsung #Tizen turn their TVs into stealthy #residential_proxies. They route 3rd party traffic through your internet connection without your consent. The #malware comes from SDKs. LG will block such apps soon.

This is why #SmartDevices are a scourge. Customers can always make their dumb devices smart with minimal effort and full #security.
