Could be worse. Imagine not being able to turn on a light because of a software update. Man do I hate IoT.

Actually, my uncle had a story about smart lightbulbs,

Basically, his neighbour had a smart lightbulb, eventually, it broke, so he was going to throw it away, but he gave it to my uncle.

My uncle was able to take it apart, and get his wifi password off it because it was stored in plaintext on the device.
