No, I do not want my water heater to run WebAssembly. Or a Docker container. What could possibly go wrong?


Nobody wants their water heater to run anything, except maybe water heater manufacturers, who can squeeze a penny out of you, and then you like that your water heater is cheaper.

Don't get me started on TVs, mine worked fine until it was updated and started hanging and refusing to turn off. I had a TV that worked well and then they made it stop working. This is the future of devices.

Never ever connect a T.V. to the Internet!

Use a Linux laptop sitting next to it.

Internet connected T.V.s are the sort of thing that keeps me up at night, worrying


Yes but it's hard when your partner wants to watch Netflix on it and doesn't want to bother with a Linux laptop.


Surely that is grounds for divorce?


Haha, I will begin proceedings immediately.
