You're aware that by law most cars after like 2015 2018 have to have a backup camera in the US right?

If it is broken they are literally breaking the law by not fixing it.

Yes, you can have your mirrors and rearview but the camera removes your blindspots that those miss (you know things like a small child that is behind your vehicle). It's a critical safety feature that is broken and needs to be fixed.

edit: NHTSA required it in 2018 not 2015, Canada probably has similar laws on the books too

That's correct, NHTSA required it federally on May 1st 2018. I may have mixed up some local laws or regulations that happened in 2015 (when I bought my last car they mentioned that all their cars were required to have backup cameras)

What about someone who truly does not enjoy watching TV or movies?

I understand I'm in a very small minority. However watching TV shows or movies doesn't interest me at all.

Watching TV or Movies to me is like having stare at a blank wall for 3 hours and forced notice how the faint cracks on the paint spider along it for the entire time. Afterwards I'm supposed to feel like it changed my life or it was somehow an enjoyable experience.

It's absolutely not my cup of tea.

I don't hate anyone for enjoying them either. I'll listen to friends or family talk about things they watch. I enjoy seeing how much they enjoyed watching it. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest.

It's the South of the North

I'd be more shocked if they weren't on PEDs, because it's Russia and the Olympics...

It's definitely been popped. Rip.

It's been hacked, the light bulb is likely part of some botnet or under an attacker's control directly. Which is why it's sending that much data continuously. IoT/smart devices don't send a lot of data in this sort of volume as most of the time they're idle and maybe send a heartbeat or status update every once in a while to prove they're alive.

This is what is called an indicator of compromise or IoC, it's some behavior or pattern that can be used to determine what is happening or who is the one doing the attacking.

Likely OP would need to do some analysis to be able to get attribution unless it's a very well known botnet actor in which case attribution is fairly straightforward.

You're aware that you can send whatever traffic you want over any port right? Using 123/udp for NTP is just convention. A light bulb that is updating its time over Tor is suspect. TP-Link would have their own infrastructure or use public pools to update the device's time.
