It turns out Cloudflare was able to mitigate the DDoS attack by refering the attackers to the trust and safety team.

Mr. CEO, they hit the second lavalamp!

[wlockuz]

Plot twist: It was just their sales team mass emailing everyone to upgrade to the Enterprise plan.

Cloudflare really is a middle man that we voluntarily trust to have the ability to decrypt like half of the internets traffic and not pass that data to the NSA huh. Never thought about it that way.

[rumplstiltztinkerstein]

IoT is actually more profitable than regular devices. Because they use wifi to send usage data back to their servers that they sell to advertisers.

I absolutely burst out laughing in the gym when someone told Prime that the Internet connected coffee cup already exists. That might be my favorite use of the f word in one of his videos. The despair in that word brought joy to my heart because I feel seen.

"Why does everything have to connect to the internet? We're creating a botnet!"

Bro, you answered your own question. 😅

L3/4 means layer 3/4 not level. I am not blaming Prime/Michael, it is not clear what L means when not placed in context. Article probably should have mentioned OSI layer first and introduce the abbreviation L.

One other reason IoT sucks, companies can just disable a perfectly fine device whenever they want. Or sometimes not even on porpoise, like when the company just goes bankrupt and your "smart" scale doesn't work anymore because the api is down.

[NaourassDerouichi]

This is a trap. What scares me are small ddos attacks, that would give me a 1-2k bill and that the cloudflare magic would probably not detect.

I love how his hoodie goes full old-school cyberpunk on white backgrounds.

So I bought myself a new Samsung phone, and came near my samsung Oven, and suddenly my phone asks "do you want to connect your oven to wifi?"
I feel his pain...

OSI Layer - Layer 3, 4 = Network & Transport - So hitting the raw IP stack

[mintoocool]

bro lashing out at IoT is hilarious… too little too late for that IMO .. that ship has sailed 10 years ago …

3:34 IoT Rant -- I've never felt such kinship with a YT video. Preach brother!

[pcdoc]

at 3:35 - Finally !!! Someone calls out the insanity - Everything does NOT have to talk to the Internet - Preach, Brother !!!

[keenoogodlike]

The scary part of security service is that attacker and defender could be the same person.

[majamn]

"I just want buttons" should go on your coffee mug

[philipm]

Layer 3 of the OSI model is the Network layer.
Layer 4 of the OSI model is the Transport layer.

I completely agree with his opinion about IoT. I have three devices that connect to the internet: a desktop computer, a laptop computer, and a mobile phone. My smart TV is blocked from internet access by my router. I have repaired my more than ten-year-old robot vacuum cleaner (Neato XV-25) countless times, because today's robot vacuum cleaners require an internet connection.
