        Some people have a hard time imagining bad outcomes or “thinking like a bad guy”. I guess that’s why infosec people are needed lol.

      (Almost) my entire house is smart, but nothing talks to the cloud anymore.

      So nobody can get that data except me. Some exceptions are that I dont have or want smart locks, that just seems to insecure and unreliable.

      Though in IT, I do have a (limited) smart home but also old tech like a 40s Western Electric phone, a few 1920s-40s typewriters, a few vintage woodworking tools, myriad vintage and new fountain pens (I use them to take notes… you know, on paper gasp). I have and wear lots of budget watches (err, but, one at a time) … from the 1890s - present, mechanical and quartz.

      The nicest oldest ones are a 1895 Elgin hunter pocket watch (ladies size 6) and a 1930s Hamilton open face size 10. I often wear vintage wristwatches: Bulova, Elgin, Waltham, Timex, and Seiko. I have more modern ones including Fortis, Orient, Casio, Bulova, and more.
