Your devices have radio transmitters in them. This is how they connect to wifi.
My watch isn’t different. It also has a microphone so I can tell it to do things, you know, for convenience. You can always count on laziness.
Everything with an IP can and is probably being hacked.
Sometimes, I’d be doing nothing and my watch would reset itself.
Well, that’s weird.
Sometimes, I’d take it off the charger and it would tell me low battery. This was inconsistent.
And the craziest shit… My TV was off (same large electronics manufacturer as my watch and my phone). I stood up and starting walking out of the room. I suddenly hear the tone it makes when it starts up.
Did my watch just turn on my TV? And all I was doing is walking by?
Can you imagine me trying to explain this to my family after it happened? And that it’s never happened again? My remote was accounted for and I wasn’t touching it. It’s possible the remote wigged out, but it would be the only time in 10 years of owning the TV.
Harrowing. Torturous.
