at first I was like, wow Google went and did the evil thing
....then you read the thread and realize that the *carrier* injected this ad into a 2FA SMS 😈
I just received a two factor authentication SMS from Google that included an ad. Google's own Messages SMS app flagged it as spam.

oh cool, smart electricity meters in Austin just casually broadcasting their GPS coordinates constantly, LOVE it
But Austin Energy & Oncor both use smart meters produced by the company 'Landis+Gyr' on their customers' homes & businesses.
A hardware hacker known as Hash discovered that the devices openly broadcast how much time has passed since their last outage.

Load shedding is a very normal thing, but a hot water cylinder is VERY different from your home A/C in these climates. Also, these people didn't know they had enrolled in many cases.

Yes though this case was a little different. I've got it on my thermostat too. Most people didn't know they had it on.
