Two new research reports out: ThingsCon Report on the State of Responsible IoT & View Source Shenzhen

Hi,

It's been a long time. It may in fact have been several years since the last update I sent, judging by the TinyLetter admin backend. It's good to see you!

I'm writing today because we just published not one but two reports based on the research I've been involved in these last few months. It feels so good to see this manifest in proper, shareable writing.

So what have we—these are all highly collaborative efforts—got for you? A healthy does of how to create the Internet of Things responsibly, and an exploration of the Shenzhen hardware ecosystem.



The State of Responsible IoT
