The Jura F90 is a coffee maker than runsnearly $ 2000 , largely due to its awing internet powers , like remotely setting your coffee ’s strength ( firm enough to kill a horse , plz ) and getting nosology help without transport the whole unit in for service . But the software program has some serious holes like a cowcatcher overflow vulnerability that ’ll let hackers take over the microcomputer you use to tie in the F90 to the net , not to mention shag up your coffee , turning it into a sludgy loving cup of caffeinated tar , or bad , a watery , teatime - same liquid . There ’s no bandage yet , but there better be soon . A computer getting hacked is really trivial , but lousy coffee tree from a $ 2000 machine is goddamn deplorable . [ Cnet ]
