  • Damn if that’s the case, my paranoia is gonna go overdrive.

    Btw, has anyone here actually got hacked? I feel like the media always overexaggerates “hacking” and its mostly people just using weak passwords (user error), not really hacking.

    It’s more likely to be that they found out your login credentials, yes.

    They might find a site with crappy security where they can try many usernames and passwords without getting blocked or they might actually hack the site and get the password list.

    Having a strong password, not reusing passwords and enabling MFA goes a long way towards protecting against those scenarios.









  • I use it to do things at the same time as other things. I can add something to the shopping list when I’m cooking or turn on the fan when I’m getting ready for bed without stopping what I’m doing to click buttons. I find that it’s really good for things that can’t easily be automated but you also can’t (or don’t want to) put on a physical button.

    I actually use Alexa as I haven’t had time to investigate HA voice control but the principle is the same.
