Smarthome, I Internet of things and data insecurity

Looks like that "cheap and nice smartphone addon" might have a severe issue packed in.

"Hey #honey .. I compromised our #local #network so we could live more comfy. Hope you are chill with that 🥰"

All devices you can buy that depend on •SmartLife •Brilliant •Tuya

Will most likely require auth'ing into the device with your router credencials AND will also have the inteusive app itself act as data syphon (try disabling network features, they will refuse to work without phoning home / a server connection)

Even the hardware itself is primed to this. And attempting to dissolve the shackles https://github.com/tuya-cloudcutter/cloudcutter-android requires a tuya developer account, linux and flashing a FW. Very userunfriendly.

Very concerning indeed

PHP Code Deprecation

So. I currently target PHP8 for all projects - it is the most to date one.

However, if I program something - no matter how adherent to nowadays standsarts - what are the odds it will stay functional?

I have seen projects written in php7, no longer functional.* Functions deprecated, Code needing to be rewritten.

So, if I write code today - can I be sure it will still run tomorrow ? (Counterargument: Javascript: Despite ongoing "softdeprecation" aka "please use the the newer feature, thanks", most code is still operational today, backwardscompatibility. Even in markuplanguage - html - frames are still around)

*Excluding the possibility of enforcing a specific version via htaccess. That is a last resort some government institutions who cant afford to pay programmers to update code take... Even some universities. Would you believe it.

The versions itself are supported for roughly 2 years: " Each release branch of PHP is fully supported fortwo years from its initial stable release " Source
