What an amazing solution, so simple and accessible to the average consumer. What's the next revelation, that you can prevent the IOT devices from reaching the internet by reverse engineering and rewriting their software?

An even easier and more accesible solution to move your boot with a high enough acceleration towards the IoT device thereby totally disabling the internet functionality! Doesn't even need any technical skill.

I know you're being humorous but....

If only there were a big sign on every such device saying "We are spying on you!".

Otherwise how is the average consumer to know which ones to apply boot to?

(Also, the boot needs mass and velocity, acceleration is orthogonal :-))
