For a long time now I've been naming my computers things like "LG Refrigerator" or "LG Microwave" as a joke. I thought it'd be funny if someone was ever checking the network and saw them pop up.

I'm bummed that fridges actually use the internet now.



I named things more obscenely. My livingroom TV's chromecast is "Secret Sex Dungeon TV".

I recently learned that when my network is out, Chromecasts broadcast their own wifi hotspot as a way for you to configure them using the name they were set up with.

I hope my neighbors don't mind knowing I have a Secret Sex Dungeon and a Torture Room with smart devices. oops.
