IoT? Connected devices? Load of bollocks - dangerous bollocks! <wanders off, grumbling>

It's always possible his problems were due to his kettle participating in ddos attacks …

<sniggers> That bot you just killed - could that have been a toaster?

A toaster in the service of the Organizatsiya … if I wake up and find a severed fridge's head in my bed, I'll let you know!

Fridges are well dodgy, and often harbour strange life forms - having them 'connected' could be dangerous!

The whole "internet of things" thing is just an excuse to sell expensive appliances that don't really do anything useful over and above their usual functions, and often fail because the network is down or something. I'd sooner have a £5 kettle from Argos!

Kettle seems particularly bizarre - you have to be physically present to fill it with water and then again to pour the boiling water out of it - what's the point of being able to turn it on from a distance?

The only good kettle is one without a water gauge!

Stovetop kettles are popular again - any colour you like. I had an old one in the back of a cupboard, but outed it during my recent relocation.

Hah! It seems the trend is shifting though ... [initially enjoyed here]

An un-expected benefit of the IoT - it can be used for DDoS attacks! Your fridge can save the World from the curse of social media.
