    Once they ban killer robots then they'll work on taking away your Roomba, and the self autoclaving toilet washing robots so you have to clean your own floors and, worse yet, toilets.

  11. Phones are smart? on Industry-Wide Smartphone "Kill Switch" Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    Smartphones, Really? They would have to kill the providers, and they make cell phone modules that a gerbil could interface to... or just tether a burner phone via USB to your actual Smart device and back up to that.
