But would you still use strictly on-premises devices and/or uploading to the cloud with local (managed by you) encryption?


I do actually... but I also don’t have much need for them.

I have two web cameras in the kids‘ rooms, but they are fully fire walled and have zero external access. But now that they aren’t infants... do we need them?

I do backup our pictures and documents to an external provider, but the backups are encrypted and not browsable per say.

I have no need for a fridge that orders groceries or a thermostat I can control from the office...etc.

Ironically, I write software for a living and love computers... I just value privacy more than most I guess.
