   ♲ @codepitbull@twitter.com: I work in IT, which is the reason our house has:
   - mechanical locks
   - mechanical windows
   - routers using OpenWRT
   - no smart home crap
   - no Alexa/Google Assistant/...
   - no internet connected thermostats

     I'm not suggesting you should give up on locks, but apparently most mechanical door locks are super easy to crack anyway, so it probably doesn't matter.
     
     I think you probably left off the scariest: internet-connected ovens.

     @musicman Probably these days, locks are (to use an old joke) not about outrunning the bear, just your neighbors.
