Anon shares on Wifi Lightbulbs. Can anybody who knows of this topic shed some light?
If you haven't heard about "LIFI" you will.
Following is a brief explanation:
"At its essence, LiFi operates as a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system, promising unparalleled wireless internet speeds. Central to this system are LED light bulbs. These bulbs emit swift light pulses, imperceptible to the human eye, laden with information. It’s akin to an advanced, hyper-speed Morse code. Devices fitted with the requisite receivers decode this influx of data at breathtaking speeds. Demonstrated potential transmission rates for LiFi have even surpassed 224 Gbps, a pace that dwarfs WiGig, one of the most rapid Wi-Fi technologies."
They are suppose to start putting smart meter on our houses in our neighborhood. I don’t trust them. Does anyone have experience with them?
Smart meters have been deployed for many years here. They are not mandatory but it's impossible to get reasonably priced electricity and gas if you don't. The stated reason is that a human no longer has to check the reading. Everyone knows the real reason is that they can individually turn off the electricity supply to your house.
Stupidly, they contain 2G cellphone modems to communicate with the mothership. Unfortunately for them 2G is being turned off nationwide. We have smart meters here but we still have to read them by eyeball and manually upload the numbers to the utility company.
