Yeah I see people bitching about their TV showing ads on menus and I'm wondering why the hell anyone would hook a smart TV to the internet in the first place.

the answer is consumerism

Ironically:

Internet of Thing = secure Internet of Things = insecure.

Therefore, the 's' in IoT stands for insecurity.

This is the most Aperture-ass warning sign ever, and I need it in my life immediately.

I had some of those on as wallpapers for years.

What is this? Surely not legitimate old timey warning labels. What are these from?

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 14 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

from the game Portal 2 judging by the crosshair and Aperture markings on the picture. Likely from the cabe johnson era facility levels.

Hmmm, I only played the first one. I guess I forgot that aperture was company in the game's name. It's been a while.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Do catch up on Portal 2 when you can - even just the JK Simmons narration is worth it IMO.

I loved that guy - and Rick Sanchez abusing them.

IOT = Internet of Things, i.e. appliances and stuff that connect to the internet. These often have very poor security, so the joke is that there's no S in IOT.

Nobody reads signs just remove the chip.

Where I work genuinely has hundreds of devices that must be networked but should never be on the internet.

The pictogram on this one makes more sense IMO

Perfection! Thanks!
