That's still a bunch of sugar with no fiber from the actual fruit to offset it.

Reolink devices still reach out to a bunch of different servers across the world as soon as you connect them to a network.

Always isolate an IP doorbell or camera on its own access point or virtual network, where it can't see or interact with other devices on your local network, and then block it from WAN access.

Yeah. I switched to an IoT version of Windows 10 that's going to get security updates until 2032. (I have a Windows machine I still use for a certain piece of proprietary software.)

Fair enough. Thanks for the info. 👍

But you have to submit evidence of age to some site, right? So where does that evidence (your ID) get sent to or stored? Once it's sent, are you sure it's not stored? Is the token unique or traceable to you?

I honestly don't know, and when I don't know, I have to assume it's not staying private.

Set off fireworks?

Yes. Preferably directly at the vehicles. The big boomy ones so they really take notice. 🙃

Is the system opaque? Does someone else hold the private encryption keys? Could unencrypted data leak from the company and expose users?

If any of those answers are "yes", then assume it's already compromised by a government and unsafe.

The company is Qardio. The device is the QardioArm.

This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I woke up, tried to use the blood pressure monitor for the first time in months, and was signed out of my account in the app with no way to log back in because the server is now offline. I went to reddit and tried their suggestions, but nothing worked.

I looked for an open-source app that might be able to interface with the QardioArm, but no luck. It's just junk now. I can't even access my blood pressure history in the app. I knew this was a risk when I bought it, and I did get around 4 good years out of the product, but what a damn waste.

Make this illegal already.

Do you mean 24 minutes instead of hours?

I don't have a whole day to spare 🙂
