THE INTERNET OF THINGS

(n.): the networking capability that allows information to be sent and received by objects and devices

The low tide riverbed silt  of things. The cloud-swept 

distant hill of things.  The open bedroom window 

in spring of things.  The moonlit cricket 

symphony of things.  The pitter-patter 

tin roof rain of things.  The fifty-year marriage 

loose skin of things.  The clipped winter light 

of things. The stippled lymph  node of things. The grief. 

Oh—the grief. The brief  ecstatic flight of things.  Erin Murphy

Welcome to the future, where you don’t own anything and the stuff you rent stops working once your phone has no signal.

And this is why I will never like- nor stand for big tech giants / corps.

They monopolize and dictate what people should or shouldn't be doing.

The bad news for Google is that I'd rather wait 5 seconds of nothing than watch any more of their dumb ads. They make enough ad revenue, and I am not keen on being brainwashed with ads every day. Yes it's a free service- No, I won't pay for it to feed the rich (who are already overfed) + I grew up on a free internet. Too many things in this life are paid for. Let me enjoy my little silly relaxation content for free. I'm entitled to taking good care of my mental health after a hard day of work in your capitalistic ruthless society.

Sorry, not sorry.

Was always, and will always stay with Firefox and uBlock Origin for as long as I live- I will happily die on that hill, while retaining my digital rights to privacy and freedom.

I haven't personally verified this as I'm not at a computer, but multiple people in multiple places are saying the same thing. This is fucking insane. First the endless war on UBlock, then the Chromium changes to shut out some blocker functionalities entirely next year, now this?

Something is deeply rotten in recent Google/YouTube policy. I can't imagine that this is legal - how is this not anticompetitive? Google needs to get mega fucked in the press and the courts sooner rather than later.

And I need to switch to Firefox as soon as I get home.

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

[dragonomatopoeia]

i've died on smaller hills, so i can't judge. but i do think it's funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan's absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs

Understanding The Internet Of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of connected devices that communicate with each other and the cloud. Thanks to advances in technology, including affordable computer chips and high-speed internet, billions of devices—such as toothbrushes, vacuum cleaners, cars, and machinery—are now online. These smart devices use sensors to collect data and respond to user interactions intelligently.

What is IoT?

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a system of physical objects embedded with sensors and software, allowing them to connect to the internet and exchange data. This network of smart devices interacts with the cloud and with each other, creating a more responsive and efficient environment.

Initially, adding computing capabilities to everyday objects was slow due to bulky and expensive chips. Early on, RFID tags were used to track valuable equipment. However, as technology improved, these chips became smaller, faster, and more affordable, enabling a broader range of devices to connect.

Today, integrating computing power into everyday objects is more cost-effective. For example, adding Alexa voice capabilities to a light switch is now possible. This has led to a surge in IoT devices in homes, businesses, and offices, forming the basis of the Internet of Things.

How Does IoT Work?

An IoT system operates through three main components:

Smart Devices:

What They Do: These are objects like TVs, security cameras, or fitness trackers equipped with computing capabilities. They gather data from their surroundings or user interactions and send it over the internet.

IoT Application:

What It Does: This software or service processes data from various IoT devices. Using machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI), it analyzes this data to make decisions, which are then communicated back to the devices to guide their actions.

User Interface:

What It Does: Provides a way for users to manage and control IoT devices. This could be through a mobile app, a web dashboard, or other interfaces.

Examples of IoT Devices

Here are some practical examples of how IoT devices are used today:

Connected Cars:

How They Work: Vehicles use smart dashcams, infotainment systems, and connected gateways to monitor aspects like acceleration, braking, and fuel levels.

Uses:

Monitoring rental car fleets to improve fuel efficiency.

Tracking driving behavior for safety.

Notifying contacts in case of an accident.

Predicting and preventing maintenance needs.

Connected Homes:

How They Work: Smart home devices improve comfort and efficiency by automating tasks and enhancing security.

Uses:

Smart Outlets: Track and control electricity use.

Smart Thermostats: Adjust home temperature.

Hydroponic Systems: Manage indoor gardens.

Smart Smoke Detectors: Detect smoke and send alerts.

Home Security Systems: Include smart locks, cameras, and leak detectors.

Smart Cities:

How They Work: IoT technology enhances urban planning and infrastructure management.

Uses:

Air Quality Monitoring: Measures pollution levels.

Smart Lighting: Reduces energy consumption.

Infrastructure Maintenance: Detects issues with roads and bridges.

Parking Management: Optimizes parking space usage.

Smart Buildings:

How They Work: Buildings use IoT devices to improve efficiency.

Uses:

Energy Management: Reduces power usage.

Maintenance: Lowers costs and improves upkeep.

Space Utilization: Optimizes the use of workspaces.

What is Industrial IoT (IIoT)?

Industrial IoT (IIoT) applies smart devices to industries like manufacturing, retail, and healthcare to create efficiencies. IIoT devices offer real-time data on various business processes, helping to:

Manufacturing: Use predictive maintenance to minimize downtime and improve worker safety.

Automobile Industry: Employ sensors for diagnostics and automated part ordering.

Logistics and Transport: Enhance supply chain management with real-time tracking and optimized fuel usage.

Retail: Innovate with robots for inventory management and automation in warehouses.

How IoT Can Improve Our Lives

IoT has the potential to transform daily life by automating tasks and making environments more responsive. For instance:

Morning Routines: Your alarm clock could trigger the coffee maker and open blinds. Your fridge might order groceries automatically, and your oven could cook meals based on a preset menu.

Scheduling and Navigation: Your smartwatch could manage your calendar while your connected car optimizes your route and refuels as needed.

Benefits of IoT for Businesses

IoT provides several advantages for businesses:

Accelerate Innovation: Advanced analytics reveal new opportunities and enable targeted marketing.

Data-Driven Insights: AI and machine learning predict future trends and enhance customer service.

Enhanced Security: Continuous monitoring improves performance and safety, with automatic system updates.

Scalable Solutions: IoT technologies can be customized to meet customer needs and manage inventory effectively.

Key IoT Technologies

Several technologies support IoT systems:

Edge Computing: Increases computing power at the edge of the network, reducing latency and improving response times.

Cloud Computing: Provides remote data storage and management, making information accessible across the network.

Machine Learning: Processes data and makes real-time decisions based on algorithms deployed in the cloud or at the edge.

What is AWS IoT?

AWS IoT combines AI and IoT to enhance business outcomes. It offers services like:

Security: Protects data through encryption and access controls.

Scalability: Supports billions of devices and trillions of messages.

Integration: Works with other AWS services to create comprehensive IoT solutions.

In summary

The Internet of Things connects devices and systems in ways that improve efficiency, convenience, and innovation. From smart homes and cities to industrial applications, IoT is reshaping our world by making everyday life more automated and responsive.
