General

Audit every smart device in your home:
1. List all devices that connect to the internet (cameras, speakers, plugs, lights, watches, TV)
2. For each: What data does it collect? Where does it send it? What's the company's track record on privacy?
3. Can it be gadgetbridged (replaced with FOSS app)? Can it be hacked/reflashed?
4. Can it function offline, or does it require cloud connectivity?
5. Decision: keep, replace with FOSS alternative, or disconnect from internet
