Meet with a patient from Sweden yesterday, he was raided on the strength of his electric usage, digital meter I assume. Be careful people.

I did wonder if these new smart meters would start catching folk out. Now i know

[duke]

just get a mig welder and stick it in your garage and if asked you use it regular for hobby welding big consumption covered or take up pottery and buy electric kiln,peace

If they started going by 12/12 we all have to grow autos and keep irregular times, I dont have a smart meter yet though and no plans to get one till they force us.

[mellowed]

Smart water meters will be the next one trapping folks
Especially if ya running 200+ltrs once a week at res change.
I wish folk would think before taking these things out.
Only yesterday i was reading how your voice activated tv can record all conversations in the room and send the data off to thrid party for them to listen top

Who needs a policeman or mi6 when we are openly letting these little spy devices freely into our homes and letting them record all about our lives.
And the worst thing is.
All these little gadgets that are catching people out come with there own little usage charge as well.
Thats right.
We are paying for them to spy on us. Simple as that.
And dont get me started on the little black box the insurance twats want in ever car now.
No tah.

Just tell Mr Smart meter fitting man to go do one, cus you don`t think his meter is smarter than the one you have, basically to do one tell him you not having it fitted, its my house, get outa here. If you already got one fitted then fook knows if your worried about it that much then maybe LED would be the way.

 

Talkimng of all this smart shit, man i was watching tv news last night and samsung smart tv`s can here what you saying, apparently they sell info to third parties, fook me, i got one of those telly`s i think, how the fuck can i tell if my samsung smart tv is listening to me then, scary.

They don't sell it (or so they say). They use a third party to provide the voice-recognition service.

Just been diggimng on my model and it was the one b4 voice recognition, so were good i think here, i can`t see no mic icon on screen, tbh i`ve never messed or played around with it and knowing what i know now if i was to buy a new tv i`d just get a standard latest LED with no extra`s like 3d or smart which are very limited to the manufacterer so basically i can only get smasung apps, but yes i`d just buy an android tv box and set that with a nice LED tv then you got everything app wise. Smart tv = load of expensive shite.

Been reading manual it has bluetooth the lot which is handy for wireless speakers etc, pity i don`t know how to find it or work it then i could maybe bluetooth my tunes through it from pc, might carry on reading.
