xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier

Title text:

It's important for devices to have internet connectivity so the manufacturer can patch remote exploits.

Transcript:

[A store salesman, Hairy, is showing Cueball a dehumidifier, with a "SALE" label on it. Several other unidentified devices, possibly other dehumidifier models, are shown in the store as well.]

Salesman: This dehumidifier model features built-in WiFi for remote updates.
Cueball: Great! That will be really useful if they discover a new kind of water.

We do have more than one type of water, D~2~0, HD0, HT0, T~2~0, DTO, which are all different mixtures of Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium or in other words the hydrogen has more neutrons, there is also a different ionization for each of those, plus there are different phases of ice which are made from different pressure that is ice I-VII, and it's not impossible for more types we don't know about, then there is isotopic water that have different mass and reaction rates and it's not impossible for other types that we just don't know about or even to create other types.

Tldr: atoms and molecules are more varied and complex than you'd think.

You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

That's just because I'm using a pH from Like 2008 and it has progressively stupid autocorrect.

Even when I correct it if I don't spacial go to the next would and then do back it will change what I said.

As an example I just left this how it wasn't me too.

There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it's probably just running off the normal blend.

Right, but none of them are new. They've all been around for billions of years.
