Who is attacking the Euro's food supply?

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Supermarkets in Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland and Estonia were hit Monday by problems with freezers and fridges that apparently were caused by cyberattacks, forcing some to dispose of ruined food.
The problems follow a case last month in which attackers remotely took control of refrigeration systems in hundreds of supermarkets and independent stores across France, sending temperatures soaring.
Gustaf Nilsson, a spokesperson for Sweden’s ICA Group supermarket chain, told the TT news agency that “a limited number” of stores were affected overnight by an incident that affected refrigeration and freezing systems. He declined to give a specific number.
An ICA Kvantum store in Sjöbo, southern Sweden, said its fridges and freezers had been hacked and set to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). In a Facebook post, it said staff were discarding affected products.

There is simply no reason a goddamn freezer needs an internet link.

Yea there is actually very good reasons for this. Like it sending you an alert if the door is ajar or temp are getting too warm. Allows you to save a lot of food that would be otherwise lost. Is it necessary? No. Unlocking your car door with a key fob is not necessary either but it is pretty damn nice.

This is why I put my foot down when my wife wanted smart thermostats and a smart fridge and I told her no and that’s a hill I will die on

You'll agree now that there're even better reasons 'to not to'.

Glad you agree. Not sure why you wasted effort typing out all that other bullshite.

All can be done with a simple cellular signal like my lift stations and other remote services at work.
Requires a person to physically go and put eyes on the problem and reach a solution in person, but that's a net benefit anyway.

If tweet fails to load, click here. The World Economic Forum’s “cyber pandemic” may be entering its opening stages.
Five European countries were just hit by cyberattacks that disrupted supermarket refrigerators and freezers—just weeks after Bill Gates said “over the next year, we are going to have a lot of NEGATIVE SURPRISES” from AI cyberattacks.
Hackers manipulated refrigeration settings to as high as 122°F, causing widespread food spoilage.
This may explain why governments around the world recently urged citizens to prepare several days’ worth of food and emergency supplies.

This is interesting because the catfish processor I sell fish to was broke down this morning because all their computer systems were malfunctioning
I wonder if this is related

Nerds tried to tell everything needed to be connected. I guess we listened. Did we forget why we called them nerds in the first place?

Because you said there is not one good reason and there are multiple good reasons. It’s up to you to decide if the good outweigh the bad.

Until it can be used against you.

It's their own intel services/Brussels making up BS to justify war against Russia.

And I was right. There isn't a good reason. A simple alert text with a cell signal could handle the hypotheticals you presented. None of them require an OS that can be hacked remotely.

How about they disconnect appliances from the internet.
