Checklist: smart devices that don't spy on you

🏠 Checklist: smart devices that don't spy on you A programmer asked Claude Code to help him write an app to control his DJI Romo robot vacuum with a gamepad. Because of a bug on DJI's server, he ended up seeing the cameras, microphones and floor plans of almost 7,000 other people's vacuums in 24 countries. DJI fixed the hole and paid him $30,000, but it's still worth checking your own home. Here's what to check: Guest Wi-Fi for all your smart devices (vacuum, TV, speakers, cameras), separate from your phone and laptop. Automatic firmware updates turned on. Check in the device's app. Camera and microphone turned off if they aren't needed for the device to work. Manufacturer account: a unique password and two-factor authentication. Remove what you don't need: old devices and cloud features you don't use. Before buying, google "model name + vulnerability" and see how the manufacturer responded to past security holes.
