Windows 10: Early version of Windows 10 Cloud leaks

Hi there

Once my Fridge starts ordering groceries for me --IT's ALL OVER.

Just because I'm say low on Milk why on earth should it order more -- I might be going away for a few days / weeks !!

In any case this stuff would just STIFLE imagination --what if you wanted to try new recipes etc with ingredients you'd never bought before.

Now a ROBOT that could Iron clothes, stack the dishwasher, vacuum the house, call those HIDEOUS Indian call centres operated by Banks and utilty companies etc -- that's what I call progress -- not some stupid Fridge ordering groceries !!!!.

Besides in the supermarket I regularly use - I like to Banter with the young ladies (and sometimes the young Men too-- however they all seem Man Utd or Liverpool Fans - even though they are around 1800 KM away from those grounds--anybody know where I can source a Hull City T-Shirt just to wind them up - I think Hull 2 -Liverpool 0 last weekend).

I'm sure they don't want to banter with a FRIDGE.

Come on, who wouldn't want their toaster to tweet them when the toast is done. *chuckle *Tongue

 

Love it !!!!!!!.
I've trained the dog though to tell me when it's done - and the dog can push a trolley around too !!!!.

Hi

Nice pic !!

I'm not actually a Luddiite

I LOVE new technology -- but it must be fit for purpose -- not help to atrophy Brainpower !!!!.

(actually here a lot of the time you could probably manage WITHOUT a Fridge- but that's another issue !!).

You can even get an app to tell you when to go pee!
(The human race is so screwed!) *Confused

 

Windows Cloud is a natural progression for "Windows everywhere"-mentality.

Guys, don't get caught up in just my one simple example.

Besides that fridge could be connected to your calendar too and it would know you are away for a week or 2. Windows Cloud --> connected to all your cloud services and is intelligent enough to understand the context of all data it has.

 

Some people are like robots, they don't think for themselves at all. So yes someone would need a tweet that tells that person to go to pee or take a shower...or whatever.

 

What's wrong with the Windows 10 IoT version that runs on Raspberry Pi?

 

Hi there

If that Fridge knew I'd be away for a week - then someone somewhere would know -- Open House folks -- come back and you've been visited by "un-invited guests". Fortunately Crime like that is quite low here but in other places ????.

I remember going to a wedding reception in Scotland a few years ago (nothing against the Scots so don't read this wrong) - but when the wedding invitations were sent out someone in the Mail (Post office ??) centre told his friends that these people would be out of their homes during the wedding reception you can guess what happened next.

Guess what

15 people attending that reception came back and found their houses had been "visited by uninvited guests" !!.

If you just look at the paranoia on the A/V Forum -- how is it people will rabbit on for years whether the latest version of malware bytes or Norton is fit for purpose - yet are quite happy to allow their Fridge to connect without any A/V protection to a cloud server that could be hosted anywhere - and certainly where the minimum wage would be well below UK/US / most of EU standards and where even basic security controls could be questionable.

It has no UI by default!

 

Hahha, great story! Your statements are very close to the real truth.

 

What about a version that runs on a model 1 SURFACE device which is running Windows 8.1 RT? I'd love to be able to update that lovely hunk of junk. I bought it refurb just to say I had one. But I would love to update the OS somehow!

 

It's a GUI less almost useless, to me anyway, OS. It's not in anyway shape or form anything like Windows 10 on any other device. No browser, no Apps, no anything except basic system info. You write your own Apps etc in visual studio and install them yourself. I don't have the skills for that so 10 IoT just makes my Pi a paperweight.

 

I'd be Ok with my fridge telling me I'm out of milk Cold Beer. *Wink
