Us, motherfuckers. Because they’ve conclusively proven they can’t do it themselves.

The feature she was referring to was a shortcut to turn on the recording…just like the shortcut I’ve had on my *(Android) phone for years and linked with a shortcut on my Pebble watch that makes the phone record without turning on the screen so the cops won’t know they’re being recorded.

I’m trying to remember if it was Fox or Pat Robertson’s channel, some years back, that had a segment on “cybersecurity” (talking about government/corporate infrastructure) where they basically just interviewed some rando 12-year-old boy who showed them how his neighbors’ wifi wasn’t password secured. Identical audiences, really.

Sauce - Max Headroom, 20 Minutes Into The Future
There’s so much about that show that seemed absurd when it aired but prescient now. And no, that’s not a good thing. Example, a quote from later in this clip: “without television this city would be ungovernable!”

Earlier this year, I stayed at a hotel for months while my house was being repaired. Fox News at breakfast tended to be the rule.
The doctors offices I’ve been to seem to show Home and Garden network.
You know what be cool?
Surgery documentaries
The blood might scare people, though.

Did you know you can get ones that work with the 3.5mm jack on a phone?

I was wondering why they weren’t more popular until I found out how crappy the app was, and there don’t seem to be any open-source alternatives. (I was really hoping for something that could control my Blu-Ray player, which is beyond the capacity of most older universal remotes.)
Coming up next: Fox News shocked to discover mobile phones can suppress the airing of Fox News in public spaces!?

Based on the occupational mortality statistics the answer would seem to be “rather a lot of us; and plenty more who are only missing the ‘uniform’ half of the situation.”
