    So the accidental hacking is the scary part? Not the fact DJI has 7K live feeds into peoples homes?

      It’s anthropologic.

      A common trope in stories is that to gain any kind of scary access you need to find a “hacker” who’ll do that, but it’s at the same time some obscure power that nobody has, not even the company they are “hacking” into.

      People still feel as if such news were something unique and couldn’t be repeated just like that, easily, with them and things they use. There’s nothing unique with computers.

      In case you weren’t joking, there’s an excellent project called valetudo that allows you to neuter the phone-home capabilities of supported models of these dodgy chinese spyware machines that happen to also clean your house, with very decent home assistant compatibility.

      If you’re buying a 1k+ $£€ robot, make sure you really own it properly and hack it.
