MODERATORS
It was on this thread on internetofshit@suppo.fi. I'm guessing it's a community dedicated to pooping on the Internet of Things, so when something like this comes along they really really want it to be true. I wasn't paying attention to the communities when I was posting, though, just clicking through all the repost references and giving a cursory glance to see if someone had already pointed out the fakeitude.
Ah, now I see. Thanks.
