    But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

    “You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

    FYI

      Definitely don’t Google “2K spray paint” because it’s impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

      Wouldn’t be surprised if it was named after the game. These guys like to name their companies nerdy sinister names on purpose. Like Palantir

    Considering that there was an assassination attempt there not that long ago, it’s not surprising they increased security.

      An assassination attempt was thwarted. The attempt itself never took place.

      Planning to shoot the president is different than actually shooting at him.

        That one seemed so fake lol

        Feels like secret service needed a redemption after whatever happened the first time. So that’s what they got 🤡

            I ain’t shy of any tinfoil but this one didn’t land.

            What are you basing your position that the first one was also fake?

                Haven’t heard this one. The media cycle around was rather weird.

    Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.

    Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).

    Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

    Funny and sad. Society so divided, so polarized, cemented bipartisan - they can’t have candidate above divisions.

    Because they’re eating the dogs, the people that stay there, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live around there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.

      When Q-Anon spreads baseless pedophile ring accusations it’s ridiculed but apparently doing the exact same thing for their side is fair game. Great display of double standards yet again.

        If you don’t get jokes it can’t be helped but try not to interrupt the rest of us.
