This, along with the topic link, give me the impression that the Internet of Things can&#x27;t possibly work, not in the medium&#x2F;long run. Not without a huge shift in how manufacturers and developers think about security and maintenance of devices deployed in the field.<p>As long as the general approach remains &quot;take a device, slap some nodejs on it, deploy&quot; then the whole endeavour is doomed to a spectacular (and potentiall bloody) failure.
