Time to setup home defense EMPs.
- Or just used wired connections. This is targeting wifi cameras and doorbells.
- It’s the only weapon we have against the machines
  
  Pull the B string patrick!
- Time to set* up* home-defense EMPs.
assuming the dog is remotely controlled, what's stopping it from getting jammed?
- Besides semi-autonomous (as the other commenter mentioned) wired control is an option for most law enforcement uses.
- It's semi-autonomous, not remote controlled
Fuck DHS...they are a worthless boondoggle, everything they touch end up full of scandal
Honestly if this is rolled out I feel like any criminals expecting to be impacted by this will just do some killswitch stuff once radios go down.
Can’t think of a good example other than one time I used a laptop’s built-in webcam to detect motion and shut down with the OS running entirely in RAM as an experiment.
It just feels like you could “detect” Homeland Security coming by watching radios and noticing everything being down.
Cool, maybe posting about it online where everyone that this might be used against can see it isn't a good idea but whatever.
