Re: Gadgets everywhere
Two things: 1. To Bosworth. It's not likely that your appliances will be shut down by a malicious hacker but it could be compromised to become part of a botnet and used in a ddos or ransomware attack. Personally I'm wary of giving any device internet access through the router and regularly port swee...

Re: Gadgets everywhere
I like technology. I have been in it all my working life; telephones from dial phones through TACS to GSM/3G/4G/5G network infrastructure. I built a light controller to turn my lounge lamp on at sunset just for the fun of it but, really, it's just as easy to press a button or throw a switch. I'm not...

Re: Improvised Faraday Cage...?
In the 80s I got called to a lightning strike on a telephone pole. It had about 20 drop wires off it and every house had the phones fried. Took me and a mate a couple of days to replace all the wiring/phones in all the houses.

The home base is undecided but the vehicle will have a firestick mounted on a bull bar, not ideal I know but I ...
