This is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes. God help us.

Oh, those are just to stop the kids escaping from the paedodungeon.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

So they have a coffee brewer on their back but you cannot pet? Please make sense.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 98 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 hours ago

And What’s stopping them from eating the robots? I mean someone ate an entire plane

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

They fucking won.

Ron Williams, a former Secret Service agent who is now CEO of the security and risk management firm Talon Companies

Ah life really does imitate art

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 85 points 8 hours ago

you have 20 seconds to comply

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl -3 points 1 hour ago

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

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

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 23 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 25 points 7 hours ago

Because real dogs refuse the job.

[–] 7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago

I feel an urge to go play Horizon Zero Dawn now.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 53 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 8 hours ago

If they appeared with guns, wouldn't the robodogs also be strapped?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 hours ago

One would think it would be easy to get T.E.L.L.s nowadays and just send one after another

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 49 points 9 hours ago

Shitty ass movie life

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There's always a place for a happy little accident.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you holding my birth certificate???

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Should I drop it?

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

They're guard dogs

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 29 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

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

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

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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 🤡

[–] db2@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They were both fake. Magic healing ear.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 hour ago

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

So deff gave me cover up vibes injust assumed it was because feds botched the job.

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk -4 points 3 hours ago

He did literally get shot though.
