Yes! Security please!
I really appreciate how easy it was to give a puck.js to each of my daughters (8 & 9 years old) for Christmas and have them open them and go straight to hacking. Very simple. Very Awesome.
I really appreciate how I was able to pass my puck around the office merely saying "Google this" and introduce "hardware hacking" to a dozen people who expressed an interest in microprocessors but were overwhelmed by where to start.
But now I have a problem. It's become sport for people to send code to my pucks. I'm glad to hear that I can tell them to go buy their own pucks. However, they are hesitant to do so because they see how I am unable to secure my devices from their pranks.
I think it's worth having an official write-up on how to prevent unauthorized pairing.
I don't understand the consequences of the 4 different options Gordon has explained above, or how to implement them.
