@ins0mniak @Terry they're not gonna make you turn off your AC, they're gonna tell commercial customers to shut things down

I used to work at a place that had several machines on site that used so much power they had to notify the utility before turning them on or off. like more power than hundreds of homes. that sort of thing can just be turned off until the weather chills out
@ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @deprecated_ii I'm sorry to inform you that you no longer live in a first world country, you lived in an economic zone punctuated with gated communities in between endless Barrios and nigger hoods. The AI companies would absolutely fuck you over to power their stupid data centers and the gov't will then tell you it's your fault for cranking the A/C. You need to be more sophisticated like euros and buy 6-7 box fans for your house.
@deprecated_ii @ins0mniak @Terry I've been waiting for this. They've installed smart meters everywhere. There was a huge push about a month ago to get as many in as possible. I'm willing to bet they'll use them to remotely shut off small customers for short periods long before they kill the million-dollars-a-day machines for the big customers. You'd run a big liability on damaging their shit. I know these meters can shut off power without anyone being present.
