SAP does this too. I watched as a ‘license enforcement’ mob conjured up an ‘ indirect user ‘ concept to charge a top 10 ( in our country) client $10million for misusing SAP software for payroll and finance. The group was called Global Customer Assistance or some similar euphemism. It was all bogus. The client immediately started a program to rip out all SAP software. To my knowledge this is now complete. This customer abuse program was started when a number of senior execs moved from Oracle to SAP in the US.

Isnt that the objective? Make them more subservient.

Could these replace the dashcam in my car?

kind of too late now. You guys should have been awake a year ago.

lots of folks in my circle also boycotting american products and services. in the cross hairs here are Amazon, Google, any american food, booze, clothing, cars, etc. Most in my circle dont watch american news. its depressing to see a country descend into third world status so quickly

Exactly what america voted for. Snake oil salespeople.

This is a very interesting read. I have been sitting on a decision to either go batteries to reduce my own demand on the grid versus a VPP. This article helps explain why VPPs are another way for corporations to get consumers to pay for infrastructure. Just like how banks need you to have a phone to be able to partake in the payments infrastructure. In my country banks are closing atms and branches.
