Giving you the freedom to run arbitrarily code on your device means giving your government the freedom to run arbitrarily code on your device, and it means giving every hacker on the planet who finds a remote exploit the freedom to run arbitrarily code on your device.

I don’t mind that freedom being limited to desktops and specialist hardware like Raspberry Pi and Arduino, and taken away from everything else like a phone or an MP3 player or a printer.

What’s the saying? The ‘S’ in IoT stands for ‘security’?
