while i'm tooting out toothbrush-related takes, we all recognize that the "just say no to iot" dogma that some people in infosec tout is, at best, sisyphean, right? That's not the world we live in, look at any statistics whatsoever on that matter. a more realistic and constructive approach might be to direct people to better iot devices, vendors, and practices. we're not turning back the iot tide, I'm sorry to break this. Improving standards, talking about who does it well, calling out bad actors, these things can be helpful. But "just say no" works about as well here as it is ever has.
