I setup an esphome to monitor my water meter for tre same purpose (minus the tank).

Is the tank far from your wifi point? I didn’t have much luck with the point I used, but I also had it behind a TV which blocked wifi.

Got a couple of plugs from here: https://www.athom.tech/ Preflashed with esphome, and I believe legal?

There was a boy who ran an underage childporn/prostitution ring, who eventually flipped an ratted everyone out. And there have been hundreds of teachers and underage boys getting caught having sex.

The legality is (region dependant) usually the same either way.

The tricky thing is finding, and attracting a high wealth person to entrap. So the real answer is “No, because you dont know any princesses”

It really doesn’t matter what the “training” entails, because Amazon aren’t going to do it anyway. Its all lip service, and all voluntary, and all to pull the wool over the regulatory bodies eyes.

I guess sticking with the drug dealer metaphor, providing needles/spoons/lighters would be the equivalent.

Drug dealers pledge to ready Americans for a drug-dominated world.

Whats your goal? Your current network works presumably, what are you trying to achieve by upgrading? Faster network? Reliability? Expansion options?

I’ve clicked the “install updates tonight” button a bunch of times, it consistently fails to update and then I have to force it to update the next morning. Incredibly poor experience.

To be fair, we only know of this one. There may well be other open source backdoors floating around with no detection. Was heartbleed really an accident?
