We watch the christmas episode of Click yesterday, the boys are into it and I am glad. I used to watch this all the time, nice to have something we can all watch together with enthusiasm. There was a feature on hacking a hot tub. They showed someone remotely accessing someone else's hot tub, turning the jets up high and things remotely. Apparently it needed no password, just to know the address of your hot tub, and there's a map service that lets you browse insecure internet of things type devices that I can't remember the name of right now... I know I am not the person to say "why is a hot tub online" I would put my socks online if I could figure out how, but I would say the risk are high of allowing your hot tub pumps and temperature and things to be controlled over the internet with no security at all.
Actually I am backing down slightly, I would love to see automated graphs of cost and water usage and things if I had something like that. But having a vague idea of the costs and water usage I would probably not have something like that. It makes me sweat just owning a tumble dryer when I see the energy stats.
Nan even worse yesterday they are stopping treatment for any issues now. She's just sleeping though and not in any pain.
