Yeah, same. I set it up as it looked like the best way to control my inverter - I wanted to set it to charge from the grid when electricity was free, and discharge during saving sessions without having to do it manually. I then expanded to trying to calculate how much charge I needed overnight in cheap rate based on the solar forecast for the next day…

Anyway, I now have everything on it and keep thinking of things to add.

They need to be trained on the film “Wargames”. Or forced to pay Noughts & Crosses against themselves.

I find this very useful to read paywalled articles that Google has managed to index!

OK, I see why they might want to get rid of it.

I got free electricity for quite a few hours on Sunday night and Monday morning due to this wind.

Absolutely agree, that’s the stuff of science fiction and hopefully stays in the fiction realm.

The issue is that if a crime is committed then the police will be interested in gathering any video footage they can get their hands on (I’ve had it at work where I’ve been asked for CCTV footage from cameras that may have had an outside chance of capturing something important). If a company is sending robots out with cameras on them, and they are recording footage, then that footage is going to be requested (whether the company admits to working with the police or not).

Should there be this many cameras watching our every move? Probably not, but as the cameras are there, they are going to be used, and people should expect to be recorded - especially if they are committing a crime.

Somebody tried to steal a robot and was surprised that video footage from the robot was used as evidence?

Wait, what? How did I not know this? That’s great!
