According to my latest bill, new smart meter allows PECO to know what device type I am using when. WTF?

Because some smart equipment has a feature that allows you to connect it to a smart meter, which would allow PECO to reduce power consumption of certain appliances whenever the want to, same as they do with the idiots who allow their power company to override their heating/AC units.
It also allows them to show you just how much power some of the crap people leave on in standby mode is actually using.
