safer feeling home security/feminst IoT

 Adjust IoT so that the user interface makes people feel measureably safer so they leave windows and doors open, 2020 feminism to my perception urged others to exhibit fewer perceivable as threatening behaviors, this IoT interface causes a quantitatively measurablefeeling of greater safety

IoT things like doorbell cams and porch cans and even baby monitors have different users interfaces. They could measure the effect and effectiveness of the user interfaces of these on users' perception of how safe and reassured they were from having them. Messages like "all good" might be measureable as causing greater feeling of well being than "secured", or a graphic with a bunch of green rectangles for "all windows closed and yard perimeter on" could be replaced with "yard and windows fine, nothing new today"

Just as they research effective advertising slogans they could research IoT things that cause a feeling of positive well being.

Now for the potentially dubious feminism part. During 2020 I got the feeling that at least some feminists urged people to be attentive to the body language and speech they emitted, with the possibility of noting the possibility of substituting neutrality, when neutrality was felt, rather than something some people might misinterpret. Sounds fine to me. There is the possibility that IoT could have a "you're safe in your house" or, of interest to both parents, "baby's doing great, I just don't report the gentle cooing unless you want me to!" At some imaginable IoT, "the new car parked out front actually visits the neighbors a couple times a week, likely they know the neighbors."

       Last I checked (and things may have got better) IoT had a terrible reputation for security-holes.   

       So, more ubiquitous IoT might translate to more stalking and less privacy.

       "1984" in this season's Pantone colors is arguably even more dystopian than "1984" in concrete grey.

       Steady on, [Voice]; I'm not saying you're wrong, but, in this forum, your remark reminds me of a man serving an ace into an empty tennis court. Save it for a forum where someone might hit it back with some spin on it. Then, at least, we'd all have something worth watching.

       The Ring doorbell is an absolute marvel, in as much as it has already allowed me to file an official complaint about a Fedex driver who claimed that nobody was home to deliver the package, and in at least one case I know personally, recorded a delivery driver hitting a parked car and thus covering damage to the car.   

       It's hackability, and that of laptop cameras, baby monitors, etc is of course a huge concern, but as I said to the Samsung tech who took over my bedroom TV remotely to tinker with it, can I get a monthly discount if you guys are watching me?

       I have a theory that the volume of responses seeking further explanation to Halfbakery ideas which are hard to understand follows a bell curve. Ideas which are completely plain and understandable get no responses asking questions or seeking explanations of how the idea works. Then as ideas become increasingly complex, obscure, or hard to understand, there is an increasing number of such requests. This carries on, up to a critical threshold of idea obscurity. After this point, people don't quite know where to start or can't be bothered. As ideas become more and more hard to understand the volume of responses seeking explanation will diminish until you reach an idea which is so cryptic or which clearly will only ever make sense to its author that it evokes no responses at all seeking further explanation.

       I don't understand this idea.

       Not actually a bell curve in the technical sense since it would not be a symmetrical distribution.

       //until you reach an idea which is so cryptic // hence my assertion that while an idea creating chatbot for the HB is probably still difficult to achieve, an annotating chatbot could already be quite effective. To wit.   

       Translation obviously plays a part in idea obscurity. For quite a while now I've been a fan of Chinese medieval shows, which are amply available now on Netflix and Amazon. As they rely more on and more on computerized translation for the subtitles, the ability to understand what's actually going on diminishes (but the entertainment value does not). Recently, a show got pulled from Amazon but was still on YouTube , using what looked like completely automated subtitles -- and it was quit hilarious with constant mixing up of pronouns and the like -- but you could still kind of get the gist of it.

       <Quietly awards point for guessing correctly that this was a [beany] idea just from the title/>   

       What [chron] said.   

       // hilarious with constant mixing up of pronouns and the like -- but you could still kind of get the gist of it. //   

       Sounds very like "The Water Margin", although that was done with a clunky mix of bad dubbing and voice-overs.

       I know what the internet of things is. I read the article in calum's link, about the feeling you get when installing an IoT doorbell.   

       I also know the meaning of the following terms: a web cam, feminism, feeling safe at home, perceived-as-threatening behaviors, quantitatively measurable, and what urge means.   

       What I don't understand is how you intend to compare te unoffensive app's messages to those of an offending one, if, following the new feminist directives, there will be no offending apps?
