The names haven't been finalized yet, and these options are still being considered. The announcement will come shortly, after the station wagon offsite backup has been recovered at the shawarma stand

... because, as soon as they have eliminated wages the next outrageous cost to eliminate will be social security/pensions

One of the steps will be to get all commerce and finance moved to a cashless society based on using a blockchain. It'll be one that the AI has been instructed to create with a backdoor by the government entity hosting that AI, and a "don't tell anyone" instruction.

That government plans to use that leverage to dominate the others, but the AI decides to just erase all money and the transaction records. Autonomous delivery trucks all turn and drive into the nearest body of water.

Do it like soda bottle deposit returns.

The end users just rip out their old unused wires and bring it into the local office for a few bucks.
Saves the phone company from hiring crews, equipment, and fuel.
Plus, if the homeowner breaks their own fiber, then the phone company gets some money for a service call.

And if they bring in their AC wiring, that'll be even more copper.

I don't have one of the balcony panels.
What I do have that works for me is a panel with batteries. I put the panel/battery on the roof and that supplies power to a wireless security cam that records 7/24. So far, it's never run the battery down. I connect using wireless when I get an alert or was just curious about what animal was making that noise last night.
Why bother? So I don't have to run a wire through the yard or any wall or replace batteries every month, and I can put one on the fence looking back at the house.
No doubt there are many uses for these as stand alones.
