Italy Puts a Limit of Air Conditioning + Apple Launches Driver's License in Wallet
4IR is not a walk in the park!
Oops, I should have named the previous post “The Temple of Spelling, Spat Upon” but too late! I have humbly accepted the fact that typos are life’s way of keeping me real. The loftier the speech, the more inevitable the typo. Never fails!
In the meanwhile, two more things that I wanted to share. Both are related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution marching straight ahead…
#1.
The rules will begin on 1 May and be in place until 31 March next year, with heating in public buildings during winter not permitted to exceed 19C. It is not yet clear how the measure will be policed, but inspectors from the ministry of labour could undertake controls, with those flouting the limits fined between €500 and €3,000, Il Messaggero reported. The measure does not apply to hospitals but may eventually be extended to private homes.
I wonder if energy rationing is coming to other Western countries, too?
#2. Crazy conspiracy theorists strike again.
That Arizona drivers license in Apple Wallet is scary. Like CBDC, what's to say AZ asks Apple to 'block' your drivers license if you do something like criticize the wrong people. This is just more digital tyranny.
Throwback! First Nixon, then Carter
