IoTSP?
Chromebook seems to fit the description........
You know how it is - you've hooked up a networked drone-sensing doorbell, Java-enabled remote control toaster and Bluetooth toothbrush, and can now determine the degree of browning of your morning slice via smartphone app from the other side of the kitchen, while commanding Smartbrush™ to order extra teeth-whitening paste for …
I was wondering what this new 'input/output teaspoon' abbreviation was about - I understand the input bit in relation to a teaspoon but since the main article pic is clearly of an invention of the Bottom Inspectors I was more than slightly concerned and even more so when I then read it was about sensors because that means probes and even if my initial translation of the abbreviation was wrong, first impressions last and I couldn't shake that uncomfortable-to-sit feeling.
In spite of that, and in spite of the insistence on that stupid cooker-sounding abbreviation, it sounds like a relatively smart thing to do.
Bollocks this PEBKAS-proving slapdash lackadaisical keyboard actuator, "stupid cooker-sounding abbreviation" that's cook*ing* not cook*er*, 'tsp' is used in cook*ing* and does not relate to a cook*er*, the repetition here for my own benefit...
Or I attempt to excuse myself by pretending that a teaspoon does relate to a cooker e.g. when the fuse has blown and you have run out of paperclips. Or if you have a fancy modern "consumer unit" instead of a fusebox, sellotape and golf tees.
No, it's even worse. More likely if you smash an IoT device, it and all its little buddies around your house will phone home advising every corporate and government snoop hooked up to it, that someone at your address is a potential domestic violence candidate and needs to be sent up for mandatory anger-management counselling. Cue a visit from half a dozen cops and a social worker.
I was considering using the Joke Alert icon but the way technology is going, there's a fair chance that IoT will eventually end up actually doing something like this!
