Yep, that’s my experience with developing database systems. Left to the user’s own preferences, if they get to choose between convenience and security, convenience wins out every time.
Except the coffee maker only brews what was put in it, it isn’t self-loading. Our agent is spreading disinformation, “The coffee machine was rigged!” And you then need to wonder who benefits from the disinformation being spread, and realize it is the one who started the lie.
My bishop is really into wiring everything up. He can take a look at practically every room in his house from his smartphone. I think even his bathroom is bugged. You know, “Alexa, show me the potty.” I don’t go there very often.
I am concerned about the whole IoT move. Do I need an oven that could be remotely hacked and burn down my house? Wouldn’t it be easier to just plan ahead with my manual oven?
