      I watch Netflix from a BlueRay player, have the TV, Reciever, and Harmony remotes all hooked up to the network

      I'm a bit confused - While I agree that these things might all have security flaws in them, I'm not sure how one would exploit them short of you installing a hacked update, and assuming you're behind a firewall.

      As I understand it, the IoT things that are being taken control of either a) are put directly on the internet with no firewall (crazy!) or b) have a port opened on the firewall for remote access/control of those devices and they've been hacked.

      As part of b) they could be using UPNP or something to tell the router "Make me available to the world!"

      But I'm guessing that @travisdh1 is probably not using a UPNP enabled router, but then again, maybe he is.

      Oh, at home, it is enabled. Much as I don't like it, trying to manage all the different ports for all the games we play would take way to much time. Monitoring traffic is easier and takes less time than trying to figure out which ports need opened to which games. (Yeah, my home is much more open to being hacked than any other network I touch. That's one reason I use vultr to host my lab stuff.)

      oh - hmm.. interesting. Yeah I turn that shit off and just deal with ports as needed.

      If you ask me, I highly recommend it be turned off. I keep the 2nd monitor displaying the active connections that the router is making, but most people don't even know how to get that information, let alone figure out when connections to something bad are being made.

      What router are you using?

      Right now, some no-name thing from MicroCenter. The next time I make the trek to Columbus, I plan to get an ER-X and UBNT-AC-LITE for the house.

      What does going to Columbus have to do with it? Are there resellers there who sell them? I just order mine through Amazon, with Prime, no shipping costs.

        MicroCenter stocks them now, and some friends want to head down. I figure the current setup will limp along until we can make the little trip together.

            LOL

            Today is Flu Vaccination day here. Being a medical facility, we give all employees a flu shot, paid for by the company.

                  Do you have a lot of client stuff that goes through level 3? or does your ISP go through them?

                      Looks like Greenshot might be affected by this.

                        Greenshot or Imgur?

                          Well I installed Greenshot and the typical page loaded talking about donating to them wouldn't load. So I'm guessing Greenshot.

                            RIP Xperia Z3... Everything still working, even touch, but the screen doesn't turn on. Dried (rice / silica) and cleaned (99,9% propan-2-ol aka isopropyl alcohol) everything, but still no luck.

                            A new screen is ~ $70 and I'm not sure if the screen is broken or some cable / controller.

                              Been on the phone all morning. Anyone else notice that things are slow around here? Traffic is very normal, posting feels slow.

                                  It is slow. I managed to get caught up from Friday, and all weekend long... before 10am here... Usually takes me at least until lunch.

                                    Yeah, seriously. Although I was caught up all weekend, so that wasn't so hard 🙂

                                      I was AFK on Friday and pretty much all weekend. Was a crazy weekend.

                                            Yeah I think they are wise to that kind of stuff these days.

                                            They wouldn't let me wife off when she was like 8 months pregnant.
