And yet, it happens... I have a home network, it allegedly offers an isolated guest WiFi WLAN. I put things I don't trust on it, such as smart home devices. I've dabbled with some smart lighting, putting some mood lighting to come on at dusk, dim late at night so I don't trip over anything going to the bathroom, and go off at dawn. Leaving essential lighting manually controlled. And I won't be putting anything I consider hazardous under cloud control (such as heating). Sometimes you *can* make connections to them. Sometime they can make connections to things on the wired LAN (I don't think that should be allowed). My phone, on my full-access WiFi can definitely control the lighting on the isolated guest WiFi, though I expect that's going through the cloud. My phone can sometimes access the Google TV dongle, trialling it on the isolated guest WiFi, I'm not sure what method that's using. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.108.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 25 16:17:31 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
