I for sure also want to access it on my Home Assistant, and it really can save alot of power to automate it. Even going down to 20C in the night, and make it going to 22C before anyone wakes up saves alot in a year.
Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.
I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.
How can you hate on smart homes, when it's a concept in itself with 100 different use cases.
My home cuts of the power for my standby devices when I leave it and nobody's there. It makes sure everything is locked at night. It literally saves me 100's on heating.
My light dims and uses less power when the sun is down. Good for the eyes and the bill.
It can run my washing machine when power is cheapest.
So now, if it does all that, making sure less ressources are spent, both money and CO2, and privacy is good, then why on earth you even hate it, let alone have an opinion about it. Why you care?
Software is a different department, and EU is currently looking at making laws about unlocking the phones for alternative OS software, which seems like a much better approach.
EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.
EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.
Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.
Aah, the US.
The only place in the world where everyone knows the word 'communism' and nobody knows what it is.
Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:
