    Here is a USB-C adapter which has SD and compact flash. It is $18. Kanex USB-C to SD Card Reader-Space Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C...

    Not sure what the direct camera connection is, but there are USB and micro-USB cables for less than $15.

    In a year these prices will be cut in half.

    On my 7 year old macbook pro, I think I used the SD card slot maybe 2 or 3 times total. Same goes for the ethernet jack. If your'e going to use it so infrequently, doesn't seem like a disaster to expect an adapter.

    Problem is, I could probably shame Samsung into fixing their IoT fridge (yes, it exists!). But there's no way you could shame a chinese knockoff company that sells products in China. There will be billions of products in Asia, Africa and South America that will be non-secure. How do you block those?

    the problem with your approach is that it lets the companies off the hook, and makes it so they don't need to pay any attention to security. the only thing that will wake them up is if their stuff breaks.

    Not sure what you mean by getting them at the app level. To be clear, I'm talking about breaking their IoT fridge so it no longer works and they have to buy another one. Next time, they'll buy a different brand!

    We need a team of grey hats who weaponize these IoT security flaws. There's no way you can win the IoT security battle through publicity or conferences. I assure you the chinese crapola seller isn't going to issue a security patch.

    Instead, we need the grey hats to find these IoT flaws and then brick all IoT devices that they can find. Just make it a standing rule -- insecure IoT? Bricked! This would make many OEMs pay attention to security, and for those who still don't, at least their products will be off the web.

    Where can we enlist these hackers?

    I think they're brilliant. a fun toy with a phenominal compelling use and styled in a way so you know exactly what they are. nobody is going to be wearing these around all day and recording willy nilly. google glass was intended to record all day and you wear them everywhere. these you break out for fun.

    congrats to them. I laughed when they passed up $3b buyout offer from fb, but it's clear they have had big visions.

    For that matter, just use one light. Apple airport has one light, glows green for everything's ok, amber for there's a problem, and blinking amber for everything's f*cked.
