Not the person you were replying too, but I was there when we had modems and raw-dogged the internet.

The average person clicks “Yes” on everything without reading it, has no idea what a firewall is, and they never update anything unless it does it without asking.

Having things accessible from outside your network is great if you’re a network nerd and that’s what you want, but most people are going to be in a world of unprotected shit. Especially in a world of pointlessly online devices. I don’t trust any of those fuckers to have their shit in order.
