*Yes I’m old, but this advice has never failed me.

There are three rules that I live by:

• Never get less than twelve hours sleep

• Never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city

• and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

I think if it keeps going the way its going it will be a winner. Plus I love to tinker/fix things as an engineer. Great getting old job as a GenX’er :)

I refuse to go thru the scanner and make them grope me. So I’m half way there!

I get that and I grew up in restaurants. We had massive walk in fridges and freezers and at no time did we ever need to change the temp remotely.

Sounds like my kinda person

As an RF engineer and a former WARDriver I want to delve into RFID and how bad the security is.

Since Mythbusters wasn’t allowed to test it and the rash of RFID car thefts I’m pretty sure I’ll end up on another list.

Oh this is gonna be a fun rabbit hole to go down! Thanks!

Best HVAC tech I’ve ever met, and I work in data centers (yes I will get hate, mine are from the 90’s not this new shit). We had a reefer down he would fix it before we went below FDA temps. Also great at catching issues WAY before they became an issue.

I totally agree!

Even easier for Frank, make it a normally open/closed relay that sends a trap to an M&C or sends email/sms when its outside set boundaries. (work in this area) Its used for simple systems like this.

I can’t see a reason why (and I grew up in restaurants) that my old man would want to change the freezer settings remotely. Also our guy was named Al, he looked like an Al, he talked like an Al and he could fix ANYTHING.

This is why we don’t need web enable shit like coffee pots, fridges, TVs. I swear I’m going to going to start a 2nd had store restore old appliances to unplug people that want to be unplugged.

OH NO!

Anyway…

This is one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

Orrrrrrr… we could do it the ole fashion way and not add a layer(s) of failure and send out a email… Don’t need security w/ a thermometer and a knob.

I like my version better, simple.

And be real, there is no ZOMG moment in food safety that requires a mass temp change ASAP. Freezers are below freezing and refers have been set to the same temp for 50+ years.

Dead on perspective.

I’ve worked for that company, it was all “we can react in a moments notice on our smart phones” and other BS.

Then we got a real customer, the first thing out of their mouth was "what happens if a bad player gets access to one of those “smart” phones?

*crickets

I was there for sales support. aka a data center monkey (engineer), I was there to answer “can we do that?” from sales.

So blank stares follow from sales, sales looks at me to answer. I have been bitching that this is YUGE security hole for the last 2 years and I can’t answer w/o making the company look bad.

Then I realize why I’m there, I’m the escape goat (scapegoat). I sputter we are all patched up to the latest, we follow the tech bulletins (aka we are reactionary NOT proactive, no TQL another thing I bitched about). I’m trying to defend the undefendable, I wanted a walled system. You have to VPN in to see anything, no smart devices, not “lets everyone have access system” party.

The sale tanked, I got blamed, I said GFY and quit. Got another gig but played dumb as it was easier day to day to let another chump like me learn a lesson. Take the pay check and go home.

Now I live by: “Not my monkeys, not my circus”

And don’t get me going on Grafana… Let “church” up and make pretty data w/ another layer of M&C I have to set parameters too for the bosses to “oh ahh” over for some stuff shirt middle manager in a corn blue tie…

So you can see why I hate “smart” anything.

My big issue is a legally owned machine gun, yeah it happens. I never expected to buy it, the price was right. Now its ATF paperwork and the fucking furniture.

This is one of those moments, like buying a new car that all the “bells"and whistles” in the end work against you.

I’m going thru this right now. I spent most of my life being able to move in 24 hours. Now I have to plan, I have to check local laws, I feel a slave to things I “own”. Point is the same w/ this. Your unnecessary web enabled device “own” them too.

Why do you need a web enabled fridge/freezer? I want a SNMP/Trap (one way, exit only) alarm when temp is getting near outside the “safe zone”. One way, I set the numbers local, can’t be changed otherwise.

Its simple (as am I), why does it need to be on the “cloud”??? AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS?
