aus einem Beitrag bei fufor's unregelmässige news - wie ich schon früher andeutete:
Was machbar ist wird auch irgendwann gemacht!
Egal ob es den Bürgern recht ist oder nicht .... egal, ob es ihre Rechte einschränkt oder nicht - ein "Übergeordnetes Staatsinteresse" läßt sich immer finden ....
Vordergründig geht es um eine simple Heizungssteuerung - durch deren Tele-Verbindung zum Versorgungsunternehmen wird die Angelegenheit allerdings häßlich:
" .. She claims residents will be able to manually override controls in all cases, but the 2008 Building Efficiency Standards (Page 64), known as Title 24, specifically states: “The PCT shall not allow customer changes to thermostat settings during emergency events.”
Michael Shames, executive director of California’s Utility Consumers’ Action Network, told WND he believes the idea of a chip consumers are unable to override is not feasible. While he considers the technology to be a positive development, he said denying consumers control over their own appliances is a highly problematic concept.
“The implications of this language are far-reaching and Orwellian,” he said. “For the government and utility company to say, ‘We’re going to control the devices in your house, and you have no choice in that matter,’ that’s where the line is drawn. That sentence must be removed. .. ”
