The sad thing is it's not rocket science.

It's just terrible, barely working, shoehorned in buggy drivers, "shipped as soon as it can appear functional" code.

You could take a microcontroller, write something simple, and have something that worked to a few 9s.

Instead, IoT vendors spend their time optimizing their data collection and monetization platforms.

"You had one job..." would be a good epitaph for the entire industry.

Not really, my power from PG&E in the Bay Area has fewer nines than even the cheapest cloud providers.
