IoT is here.

Not in my house it isn't. IoT is a terrible, terrible idea. Hordes
of cheap, poorly-designed internet-connected devices most of which
will never see security updates. What could possibly go wrong?

And without needing a host like Windows as the middleman
we're all better off. The cloud is the host and the device is now the
node. The devices are getting a lot smarter now.

All this "cloud" nonsense is just marketspeak for using someone else's
hardware as a server. A return to the server and terminal computing of
the 1970s.
