The S in IoT is for Security
AppleTV Airplay kind of fits this for me. Maybe it's secure, but, and MacOS Big Sur surfaced this for me. I click the screen sharing icon on my Mac and my 2 shares show up. I go to select the one I always select, asynchronously MacOS scans for more Airplay receivers. It finds my neighbors and adds them sorted alphabetically to the menu in real time. Result, 50-70% of the time I click the AirPlay device for another apartment since by sorting the list the positions change under my mouse. I've learned to click the screen share menu, then wait about 3 seconds for my neighbors' devices to appear, since the position of the device I want to click will move.<p>But, here's the thing. AFAIK a display pops up on my neighbor's TV showing a code I'm supposed to type into my Mac. Further, AFAIK, if the TV was off the device (usually an AppleTV) will turn on the TV on via HDMI. So, I've possibly interrupted my neighbors viewing. Or if it's late at night I just turned on their TV (no idea if it shuts it self off).<p>I know Apple has this feature to make it zero configuration but I'm not convinced it's the best feature. I've thought about figuring out how to send the same packets and building a small device/app that tries to connect to every Airplay device constantly. Then I could drive around the Apple campus and interrupt meetings.<p>Or, I could just put the app on my phone and walk around and hope that Apple will get enough complaints from users about "why does this code keep popping up on my TV" until Apple fixes the issue.<p>I think the issue is that the AppleTV uses Bluetooth as an extra communication channel to setup a session and you can turn it off but I suspect most users have not.<p>Is that a security issue that I can turn on my neighbors TVs and AppleTVs remotely?
