  • Part of the function of the lock should be to indicate of forced entry.

    Sure they could attack a window, but then you know something happened.

    A magnet attack on a smart lock usually leaves no indication of bypass. So you still think everything is as you left it, untill you need that one thing and it’s gone.

    Of course this is more for specific targeted attacks, but still, if you report to insurance that things are missing and they ask if you locked the door, but then there’s no indication of forced entry. How likely are they to pay out, or keep you as a client?









  • Ok. Found some DNS settings on my router, and fixed the internal domain name “problem” but it’s still only internal. If I set my public IP(internally) it doesn’t connect.

    I can connect to an internal computer from external, even though the client says “not ready”.

    I cannot connect from internal to external computer. Instantly shows “remote desktop is offline”

    This leads me to think that somehow I have something wrong in router settings, or I have a security feature blocking something. I just don’t know enough about routing to know where to look.














  • “because software rarely kills” Depends on what you mean by rarely. Therac-25 was extremely dangerous due to a software bug. And this was over 40 years ago.

    Industrial robot accidents are a lot more common than needed and almost all are due to software “problems” (bad path planning, bad safety implementation, or just bugs in the control system software)

    Yes these things kill less than guns, or cars, or cranes, etc. But they still have affect in a lot of those accidents.

    There are very few things anymore that don’t have some kind of logic built into them. Be it software or analog logic, it was still “programmed” or designed. If there was something missed in design, that can easily have adverse affects that can lead to accidents and death not immediately attributed to the software.
