    To late they changed all the meters in this county. People didn't concent. They didnt have any choice that I know of.

    Ive had a meter that can be read from the road for 15 years I asked for it so they cant enter my backyard or estimate my bill. They came a couple years ago and upgraded the meter again to this now smarter meter.
    Phuck em I don't care. Everybody carrys big brother in their pocket now (smart phones) smart TV's, smart cars with those push a button on star crap its to late suck it up butter cup its way way to late.

    No its a great post! And a good video! People should know about it. I already knew but it was a trade off for keeping my backyard secure. Nothing to hide about my electric habits... I just didnt want the brothas who read the meters in my fenced back yard. So it was a trade off.

    If you're connected to the grid, yes.
    That vid was made in 2011; I'd imagine most of the meters out there now are smart.
    Hawg's right... and big brother is about to get a LOT bigger. Got an Apple phone? They want your face. So does FakeBook. Soon...no more passwords on any device. Remember the 'thumbprint' to unlock your phone? Apparently that wasn't enough...so now you let the device scan your mug.
    YOU are letting them in. No tin-foil required.

    I though Bucketback meant to move it out into a General Section for more exposure...which would be a good idea imo.

    When I built Slippy Lodge, my choice was to accept the Smart Meter or allow some numbskull access to my property to read my meter monthly. I decided to go with the Smart Meter and take my chances that 300+ million people's info will freakin' overwhelm the idiots who monitor this shit.

    **** em, I say

    That's where your otherwise good idea falls apart. Idiots aren't the ones monitoring; and it's not even non-idiots. Your information is data that is accessible by computers whose programs can now process information at speeds that are almost beyond grasping. All it takes is for an idiot to type in the question, about you, and the information will be found and delivered. Or for the program to be directed to watch everything - for something specific.
