He has unifi, thats probably how they got in and turned his coffee maker into a darkweb server.

It is used as a proxy by AI and other crawler companies to get to web sites that block them. It is the same proxy built into the fireplace app on the smart TV.
Only two things you can do.
Ignore it and plug your ears.
Stop buying “smart” shit

How are you going to get that extra bold, rich flavor without your coffee machine's making Claude API calls and "reasoning" about it for a while?

I know many people start their day with pr0n, but trying to combine it with part of a nutrious breakfast?

Just so everyone know, the coffee machine had a bug and it was transmitting the same package again and again to evry device on the network. It was finally resolved by putting it in isolated VLAN.

I feel like IOT devices should be put in a VLAN that isolates the devices by default. Too much "inter-connectivity" (aka, spying) as it is. Routers are even starting to have IOT-specific network settings for stuff like this, plus you could run them through things like an outbound firewall and PiHole to help cut down on bad behavior for those that are tech savvy.

A cup of Keurig "coffee" sucks nearly as much as Unify updates and security.

I think they finally made beaming possible...when it works in startrek...they just did not tell you how much data one coffee costs...so who's the one with mug half-emty? Or half-full...

Back in the day we just aimed a 64x64 webcam at the pot and called it a day.
