Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I really like the data - to see how weather and my activity influences temperature, air quality, network... I can absolutely see, just in the temperature data, when I get out of bed; air quality shows when I cook, exercise, open windows. Nobody who's not me needs that data, so all the sensors plug into an RPi or, at most, connect through zigbee/bluetooth. I can't even imagine what They can infer from Smart TV or wifi refrigerator, and cameras can fuck right off.
But I can see where, if you like the data but can't figure out how to manage it yourself, cloud devices could seem pretty attractive. Techno-magic and fun to be part of, and there's so many people saying that privacy just doesn't exist anymore. Probably people with an IoT security camera in their bedroom.
