Smart Energy Discount issues from the personal view of a consumer.
These plans work by sending you notifications that they will be reducing your thermostat for you when there is an energy crunch.
Sounds good so far, here’s the issues I had:
Let’s say you are a good consumer and let them change your thermostat to 85’F when it’s 100’F every single time… You saved… $5!!! and got to sweat profusely in your own home in the process.
Let’s say you were working in the yard and come in sweaty and needing to cool off or you have a hot flash for some reason. If you change that thermostat while they are in control of it, you lose your whole $5 for not just that day, but the entire billing cycle.
Let’s say you want to exit the plan. Now you’re on the hook to wait on hold with your energy company for hours waiting for the one department and probably one person who can unenroll you. Chances are likely even then that they can screw it up and like in my case, both Google and my southern California electrical company claim ignorance anything was done wrong yet keep me enrolled.
In short and in summary: It’s a trap because the savings is far, far too small for the sacrifice.


Jokes on them, I block my Nest from talking to the Internet so my electrical company cannot control the damned thing. They had control even after I opted out and Google insisted they unenrolled me in the energy savings plan. Don’t enroll in these plans [insert it’s a trap gif].
and I was being a dork about saying it, but damn, imagine some nachos with a salsa like that.


Microsoft is rather inept as a company and always has been, so this action sincerely doesn’t surprise me.
Quit buying MicroIndiaSoft products.
Instructions unclear… I crossed them and got a really thc heavy ketchup instead.
You are correct, they need to be related. A fun fact most don’t know (you probably do though):
Tomatoes are related to potatoes!
The both come from the same nightshade family: Solanaceae.
Doesn’t mean they will keep the name for EU customers. The value there is in the IP and the infrastructure configuration.
Thus the term: Rebrand.
The idea here is to rebrand and modernize AOL as a gmail and cyber security alternative with decoupled infrastructure from US dependencies: A highly political topic in the EU currently.


‘Great Value’ lol

Let’s not and just say she did. Time to move on.

You’re so poor that when AWS goes down you can still sleep in your own bed.
EDIT: I also heard Bosch Dishwashers were also unable to start cycles from the phone app during the outage… oh the humanity.


Tabloids… go figure.
