Manufacturer Remotely Bricks Smart Vacuum After Its Owner Blocked It From Collecting Data

"An engineer got curious about how his iLife A11 smart vacuum worked and monitored the network traffic coming from the device," writes Tom's Hardware. "That's when he noticed it was constantly sending logs and telemetry data to the manufacturer — something he hadn't consented to." The user, Harishankar, decided to block the telemetry servers' IP addresses on his network, while keeping the firmware and OTA servers open. While his smart... Read more

Grokipedia is racist, transphobic, and loves Elon Musk

On Monday, a new online “encyclopedia” sputtered to life.

I haven’t seen any photos on the site yet. Wikipedia […] Read more
