A backdoor in a bed

How so, it's clearly a shared account
-
On the contrary. I want people to have their own opinions, and to buy the things that suit their tastes even if they seem silly to me.
And I want those things to have fair, consumer-friendly regulations applied to them.
And when companies try to abuse their consumers, and I want us to criticize the company rather than the consumer.

A shared account doesn't mean everyone who works there has access to it, or that those who do have access aren't subject to some type of access control.
The article basically goes on to say that the existence of this key makes a huge difference to the security/privacy of the product. It argues that using it, someone could access data from the device, or use it to upload arbitrary code to the device for it to run. However, those are both things the user is already trusting the company with. They have to trust that the company has access controls/policies to prevent individual rogue employees doing the things described. It seems unreasonable to say that an SSH key being on the device demonstrates that those controls aren't in place.

My partner and I have a basic box spring and a Queen-sized free mattress (from a family member.)
We put a 4” thicc memory foam topper on it and I can easily get 13 hours straight of sleep. It’s horrifying.
-
Also, eight hours is a modern invention! Throughout most of human history we slept several times a day, rather than just once.
I'm really liking siestas these days and can't go back to a single eight hour block.
-
I can get on board with that.
-
Absolutely. The 8-hour sleep is probably just a marketing invention, related to modern electric light. In pre-modern Europe it was common to get up and do housework in the middle of the night.

Remember, the “s” in IoT stands for “security”.
I could completely see this email address being a shared email address and not tied to a single user.
-
So, umm, my bed suddenly get too hard or soft at night? Yawn.

Talk about building a solution in search of a problem
-
I'm 90% sure it is not a single user. I just don't see how that really affects the security of the product, given that the company that sells it can already do the things the author is saying can be done if you have this key.
To be clear, I wouldn't buy this. I just don't think the SSH key makes it any worse than it already was

How old are you? Once you reach middle-age shit starts breaking, even if you're fit which most of us aren't. You'll notice a good bed at forty much more than you will at twenty. By sixty you'll be demanding one.
-
Unless you’re still 2 years old and somehow got on here, 13 hours do you more damage than good. But I’m gonna throw a wild guess out there that you don’t have two kids and a mortgage.
-
Said it for me.
-
Hahaha nahhh I have a spouse I’ve been with forever and we’re never having kids, so we can sleep as much as we want to. I don’t get 13 hours EVERY day, but occasionally we get fucked up on various substances and need a long day of hibernation afterwards. Last night we got about four hours (special occasion party time!) so tonight we’ll probably get 10+ hours of sleep.

Guess different life styles have different bed needs!

Would you rather one person have access to your device / data to potentially perform malicious actions or multiple people access to your device / data to potentially perform malicious actions?
And if you tell me multiple people, you’re full of it.
-
Oh 100%!
No shade on peeps who want families but that’s not for us. We gon’ hedonistically burn bright until we die. That’s our best life hahahaha

If the protocol was documented and simple enough, and if you could make it talk to your smart home RPi, then one could replace AWS with nginx + a perl or lua module.
