I kinda liked Dan Brown’s books. Mostly when I was mentally tired and wanted a book that I could pretty much finish in an evening. Also because they often trigger been-there seen-that moments when culturally relevant sites are mentioned.
Yeah, they’re basically pulp on more expensive paper.
We have camera’s in our home. They’re only pointed places where you need to pass by to get inside the home, but specifically not at places where we actually live. They also don’t record audio.
And none of the cameras are connected via a public cloud.
Why?
Most cameras with their standard settings are simply too easy to hack, and we want whatever private things we choose to do in our own house to stay private. And even if it’s secure, I don’t want to be showing off my home automation app to one of my nerd friends and accidentally show them something I shouldn’t have, hence the specific placement.
I knew the reviews weren’t good but I was like “How bad can it be?”. The answer was so much worse than I could have ever imagined.
As someone with a complete collection of the books, and having read and loved them pretty much since they first came out and my sister lent me the first one, every time I think of this movie I cant help but get angry. Much angrier than I got when the last book came out and it turned out to be from a new publisher and doesn’t fit the rest of the set that had those cool glittery covers.
