Where we live is between $40-$50 every two months for trash and recycling for most services.

We all know it'll never fully go under

No, it likely won’t, and part of that is also because of who’s invested in the company’s success. Just another example of “too big to fail”.

Just like Amazon who is a cloud computing company with a side hustle in e-tail or Google which is an ad company with a side hustle in tech.

In general most people don’t really understand this about big companies.

God, I hope the wrench has access to less of the network than the employee.
It's an IoT device.
You never trust IoT.

Hahahahahaha!!! Does solarwinds123 sound familiar?

Best practice ≠ real world application. Based on my 10+ years in IT I’d be very unsurprised to find that the networked wrench has greater access than the person.

Sorry, I assumed the context was obvious, but it’s hard to hack a person standing there turning a wrench.

What’s easier to hack? That person standing there turning a wrench or a network connected wrench? Especially considering the points you made; the wrench turner probably has access to less than the network connected wrench.

Human error caused the issue in the first place, why are we assuming a human will always find and fix the problem on a second pass?

I’m not sure why you should trust a piece of technology to be infallible.

I mean, if a networked tool can be hacked then should it be trusted to be accurate? How do you know it hasn’t been hacked and maliciously modified to report correct torque even when wrong?

Didn’t GM just suspend sales of their new cars without CarPlay because their new system had software issues? Trust a company trying to save money to skimp on the implementation costs of any technology they put in place too.

Hard to hack a person. Sounds like sacrificing security to save a buck if that’s the only reason, especially considering you’re not just paying for a tool when you network it.

Why not have a two stage torque process?

I know aerospace ≠ automotive but many years ago I worked in a shop and any time the wheels came off a vehicle the mechanic/tech torqued the lug nuts to spec, then a second person independently verified and re-torqued the lug nuts.

It seems like adding a network connection and all that goes with it also introduces additional points of failure, no?

I wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a baller.

I can’t wait for another Ecco the Dolphin game!
