Unless some of these devices are up to date on their crypto ( which I doubt a toaster made in China would be. They are selling toasters and can't be bothered with keeping them secure), they allow an easy way to hack into your wifi .

Along those lines, I think last month a list was released of the most easily hacked cars.

There are cars you can take over all but the driving (and maybe that on the “self-parking” and “self-braking” ones).

I have a 2001 car that has only 27K miles on it. I think I will keep it until I die.

Skynet ain’t gonna run me into a damn wall or kill my engine on the turnpike.
