Google, Amazon and Apple team up to create open-source smart home standard

I just couldn’t help myself. They’ve all done it before though, look at the Facetime protocol that was meant to be opened up to all. Years later, still proprietary.

I never understand why people who do everyday normal activities on the internet get so paranoid about privacy and being anonymous.

Do they really believe the government (or another conspiracy agency) care what you post on these forums for example? You’re not that valuable and I’m sure they have far better things to be wasting resource on rather than seeing that you’ve mentioned a liking of Nandos from a merchant data request.
