Is Alexa, Bixby, Roomba, Samsung TV's, Spotify, Google items, Fitbit, Apple products and smartphones/ all of our convenient "smart" devices on that list?
This is probably another reason Amazon was secretly building radio transceivers into Alex devices for that radio mesh LAN network. All these manufacturers could connect anonymously, bypassing the need to identify and connect to closed networks.
For the moment, all devices need access to your wi-fi. Don't enable it. But... 5G (and later 6G) capability may be bundled into device and needs no permission for updates, spying, and limitations on how you use it. This will all be pushed under efficiency, safety, and "frictionless" utility. These are the chains being forged. Once widely adopted, just like CBDC it will give another total control over how you live your life. What you watch, how hot or cold you keep your home, what you eat, read, websites visited, and where you spend your money. There will always be workarounds but the more smart technology is brought into your home the harder it will be to escape its control.
Going to have to leave our phones (any smart devices) in the house and go outside to have a conversation these days. When my husband starts to talk about stuff over the phone that I think shouldn't be talked about over the phone, I tell him we'll talk about it later when he's home.
Hard for it to spy if it doesn’t have a connection to the world. If you really want the IoT a separate router with no WAN uplink suffices without anything talking to the outside.
Better hope your neighbor doesn't have an Alexa device or Ring camera cuz this hidden mesh network will be communicating with your new smart device without your knowledge or consent.
Only real solutions are to yank the radio transceiver out and hope the fridge still works or buy a fridge now without smart capability.
I'm not one to complain, and I like Ted but the country is going to hell in a hat basket and he's worried what your frig hears. Don't talk classified stuff in front of appliances!
The military had a rule back in the 90s about a "Furby" not being allowed in certain places. Our appliances have been spying on us for a while, its just gotten exponentially easier in the last 10 years.

1984 is here, Big Brother is real.

They should also check for GPS and LiDars.
Stay away from "smart refrigerators." You don't need them. Beware of "Internet of Things."
What about the damn spy cars that manufacturers are selling?
I love my 2000 Rav 4- no new age electronics in it!!
New pandemic is gonna target mainly children, from what I heard.

We also need to know if devices are able to connect to the internet, such as light bulbs
There are furnace filters now that you can connect to wifi...
😂😂😂😂 I'm waiting on the wifi toilets so the CIA can look at live feeds of my butthole
Underrated comment. Lol
Oh, Ted, don't forget the televisions, and anything else that plugs in.
We needed to put the cameras in the fridge so we can tell who is eating too much.
You still have not discovered the secret remote lock.
One day you will go to get a sandwich and your door will not open
:)
And you will be happy.

But TikTok is okay since commies use it to put in more commies.
Mine can't spy because I changed the privacy settings. No way would they ever think about ignoring that! Lol
Should we all 'moon' our refrigerators? Haha!
