What are you talking about, you can easily get all models same or next day at typical reseller markup. I keep seeing these comments but not experience this problem. So what gives? #fakenews

Which means little unless laws substantially change to allow them to do anything with them. Right now, edge devices are protected from "tampering" and "unauthorised use" by both technical and legal means.


Haha. If you can code then you can create your own devices from scratch. People won't whine about a locked down cloud-only doorbell... they'll make their own.

Or you could do that now.


lol, thats the most anti-hacker comment I have ever seen.

Protected from tampering? What?! "Attempting to prevent tampering".


Sorry, I'm depressed about SaaS, IoT, secure computing and remote attestation. And everything being rented instead of owned - from the edge devices in question to apartments they're installed in. Good luck with parents letting kids hack on stuff when it violates multiple lease agreements.


Even more of a reason go encourage kids to explore their rented environment and take ownership of their devices.
