Makes you wonder why you could set a device designed to keep
items cool
to 120 degrees fahrenheit?

Yeah, that sounds more like a device used for heating to me! I know COVID caused a lot of places to move to having more things controlled remotely but I am starting to question whether or not that was a good long-term idea.

Yeah I think basically this is teaching the world that having everything connected to the internet is not the best idea. That or simplistic
security even for IoT devices needs to be heavily updated, the problem
is if this then just makes the device slow as hell.

A shrewd router manufacturer would include an IoT wireless network with
client isolation and egress controls.
