I’d be unemployed and in trouble, but sometimes I do wish a gigantic solar storm would cut off the internet for a year. Humanity needs the reset. Please stop shoving Wi-Fi into every device.
Things that can be wifi: my light switches and anything that might’ve had an analog timer back in the day. Anything critical? You can buy an analog sensor that will beep if it’s out of limits, like a freezer alarm.
Everything having connectivity is cool, I like automating stuff, the issue is it feeding all of your information to a company to profit off of it or worse.
So basically another Carrington Event. Which is actually not impossible, and nobody knows what would happen if a geomagnetic storm of that size would occur today.

The rest can f right off.
Light switches can also not be wifi. Hell, id personally prefer them not to
I only use hardwired Ethernet for my light switches
So regular demotica/hone automation light switches it is
Obviously it would be a choice to have them wifi or not, opt-in, not opt-out. I wasn’t implying anything should be automatically wifi.
