Some of you might be aware; I have been on a 4 year quest to build a smarthome. I am using and sometimes hacking existing solutions in most cases. I found some glaring lapses of security and privacy. A thread on @Xiaomi/@XiaomiIndia #security #privacy #iot @internetofshit First up; my favourite robot which keeps my home clean. The Roborock S55 uses SLAM technology with cameras & sensors to generate a model of the house. It cleans really well & it leaks even better as it doesn't use HTTPS to communicate. It misses its home and keeps calling back!

I was recently contracted to consult with a company working on a Blockchain product. After 30 minutes; I made most of their engineering team realise they weren’t building a solution to a problem. Their marketing/corporate team not so much. A thread... The company is building #blockchain based solution for maintaining health records. Health records should be private and #blockchain with its encrypted store seemed like a great solution to them. I asked them a series of Q&A to help them understand their solution.
