Thank you, Lena Khan! I've been trying to cancel my Internet Today membership for months now. The last time I tried, Elliot showed up on my doorstep with a photograph of my daughter outside her school!
That's weird. I accidentally clicked the join button, but realized I was to poor right now to pay. 3 days later I started hearing Ricky's Micky mouse laughter as I would start to fall asleep. It only lasted a week, and on the last day there were hundreds of dead mice on my yard. Each mouse has seen on ears. Next time I know if I click the join button I will follow through.
The toaster will say something more like "Your not as good looking as the TicTok girl nextdoor and she is living a better life can I go live at her house so I can give her your muffin." Or the world could be run by flaterffers and we will all die from starvation when the food collectors die of heat exhaustion trying to collect food... but the other future is just as bad.
Regarding canceling subscriptions: If you are going for a GPS dog tracker, do not get the Fi collar. I got a year of service with them, but it was pretty bad and I wanted to cancel. First of all, you can't cancel your sub on the website or app, you have to call them to cancel. I was on hold for three hours until I was able to cancel, and here's the kicker: If you cancel any time before that 1 year sub is up, your service is instantly terminated (not at the end of the cycle) and you do not get a refund for the time left. The only way to actually get what you paid for is to call them right before your sub expires and hope you can get through. More people need to put scumbag companies like this on blast.
I can't remember a time when i had to pick up the phone and call a business for ANY reason and not be met with "We are experiencing higher than average call volumes. Pleaae stay on the line for the next available agent. Your call is important to us." Hate it

I have a friend who's been completely addicted to TikTok for a while. They often go a long time just sitting around, not saying anything, going through it. It's kind of terrifying.
I’ve heard people talking about the TikTok Beauty discrimination thing for a few years. It’s speculated that it’s the reason soo many trends are started by POC folks but only go viral once a generic looking white influencer does them. Because the beauty standard the algorithm was trained was probably racially biased, like most facial recognition systems
what's the racial break down on tiktok? I'd say it's a little of that, a little old fashioned prejudice and a little minority v majority catered content getting relevant eyes.
the camera and microphone in the roomba is to sell data to advertisers. They get information on what devices you have, your family members, what you talk about. Maybe your fridge is a bit old and need replacing. Maybe your kid is watching a cartoon with merch like pokemon and would love a pokemon toy. Maybe you talk to your wife about finding another home to move. Advertisers and data brokers love that data.
Well also it's really no coincidence that these were from a Chinese company. The CCP control's China's companies, all of them (less the foreign-owned ones, but recent laws have tried though has resulted in those companies fleeing), they don't really have a real "private sector". They're the biggest source of hacking attacks on the U.S, and they also have citizens abroad that they want to dissuade from voicing any dissent outside China. Their families often get threatened as a way to get them to return to China to turn themselves in, otherwise.
It doesn't, it has a speaker, not a microphone, at least mine, the speakers indicate when a job is started or finished, when it's stuck somewhere and you need to pick it up, when you change a setting it plays a feedback tone to confirm the change, etc.
Having watched every episode of the clone wars show I can confirm that droids are commonly called “clankers”, or “clankas” by the clone troopers because of their accent.

In star wars, the slur was specific to robots who make unnecessary noise, clanking and clunking sounds are for poorly built or maintained droids. Good expensive droids makes less noise. It was a socioeconomical slur and i love it!

But if someone has access to your password changing it at least boots the person out of whatever devices they were using, giving you time to save your account in order to add more security features for the future.
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor usually once authenticated they have tokenized access; so unless you log back in change your password, and then de-authorize all other logged in tokens, it does nothing unless they specifically log out invalidating their own token (Usually a cookie) which they rarely do. In fact a lot of them go in and edit the expiration date of the cookie that they have hijacked with tokenized access and change its expiration date because most websites don't properly validate the token. Like I said, padlock on a screen door. ;)
@@TheCorruptedHuman But I thought most accounts were required to enter your new password on other devices if it has been changed, whenever I have to change my password and I go on a device that used my old password I'm forced to log out and type the new password in. This is a pretty common security practice.
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor it can be different when you're using apps because they store the credentials differently but if you notice usually when you sit down at your computer you don't have to re-enter a changed password. It really comes down to just sloppy design and poor understanding of how systems work by front-end developers. That's also why a lot of apps make you go online to change it instead of being able to change it directly through the app it simplifies it on the back end. But if you're not using two-factor (Non SMS) with a unique password on every site doesn't matter much
Haha, about 10 years ago my missus signed up for a gym and then quickly realised she had made a mistake and tried to cancel it, the guy on the phone gave her a bunch of nonsense until I said "Let me speak to him". I literally took the phone and said "Hi, she's not paying your ridiculous subscription, your contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. She will be phoning her bank and telling them to cancel the authorisation for your company on her debit card in about 5 minutes. Goodbye" She did exactly what I told her and never heard from them again.
The FBI and AFP seem pretty smug about their phone strategy, but when law enforcement agencies are encouraged to break the law AND spend time collecting money for things, whether phones or drugs, the growing corruption is inevitable. Becoming organised crime is not the answer to stopping organised crime.
@@hanslain9729 Organised crime depends on other organizations (the corruption of...) to succeed. THOSE organizations have powerful ppl who could be investigated...police, church, politicians etc. The institutions have to be dismantled if that is what is necessary to hold the powerful accountable.
The cameras on Roombas are for detecting poop so if your (hopefully) animal poops on the floor it doesn’t smear poop all over your home which happened with older models.
And why speakers/microphones?? Cameras are weird too but at least understandable to a degree. I hate sounding conspiratorial but I wouldn’t be surprised if some creep engineer (or worse, the CCP) was behind this in order to spy on customers inside their homes. Creepy either way.

i own a keeshond. getting a roomba or whatever would be a death sentence - for the roomba. ill just vacuum the floor myself lol. gives me a little serotonin boost when im done too
Robot-vacuums in general are a nightmare; the system is closed to the owners, but fully backdoored by the manufacturer and they only close security vulnerabilities when it would allow owners to have more control over the devices they paid for.
My mom recently got a clanker vacuum and it genuinely can't be less effort to just vaccum and push furniture around instead of piling chairs and tables on top of tables and sofas. The prep work is already more than the vaccum part!
It kinda works, just maybe not in the way you and Elon are thinking. In the comics Tony is a reckless narcissist who destroyed his life and wealth with drugs and alcohol.

That is actually a good product a remote food dispenser for people with pets that need to leave out of town and no money to send their pet into the kennel.
already exists. you can set a timer for it to dispense food and treats at designated hours and it takes a photo of your pet while they eat and sends it to your phone
How about trigger by command and speakers to call your pets? I use to remember calling for our dogs when it's time to eat. That might be nice to actually be able to call them the you can dispense the food. 😃
@@Kcoldraz idk if they can be voice controlled but I have seen some where you can talk to your pet through the mic. It's pretty neat although privacy concerns remain
Am I the only one that hasn't had any trouble cancelling gym memberships? I've changed gyms at least 5 times as a result of moving multiple times since 2020, and it's usually just giving them 30 day notice and that's it. World Gym, Planet Fitness, Club Fitness, etc, it's never anything crazy. Now, online subscriptions are different but it's rare that I'm subbed to anything that requires more than two steps to cancel.
Okay, why was “why is there a camera” the first question on the hacked vacuums? Why wasn’t it “why is there a speaker and why is it taking audio input”?
The biggest reason for the cameras is to avoid dog poop. A vacuum that bumps into dog poop is a vacuum that's leaving trails of shit around your house.

Hooray! Thanks for keeping me company on the way home from work boys ❤
New member and glad of it! Do it people.
It's things like this which make me miss absurd sci-fi like Hitchhiker's guide and other comedy sci-fi movies and books.
Hilarious.
Wait till your smart fridge starts making comments about your weight every time you open it!😂
"change your password" lol... Your password is nothing more than a padlock on a screen door.
But if someone has access to your password changing it at least boots the person out of whatever devices they were using, giving you time to save your account in order to add more security features for the future.
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor usually once authenticated they have tokenized access; so unless you log back in change your password, and then de-authorize all other logged in tokens, it does nothing unless they specifically log out invalidating their own token (Usually a cookie) which they rarely do. In fact a lot of them go in and edit the expiration date of the cookie that they have hijacked with tokenized access and change its expiration date because most websites don't properly validate the token. Like I said, padlock on a screen door. ;)
@@TheCorruptedHuman But I thought most accounts were required to enter your new password on other devices if it has been changed, whenever I have to change my password and I go on a device that used my old password I'm forced to log out and type the new password in. This is a pretty common security practice.
@@DeadHandtheSurvivor it can be different when you're using apps because they store the credentials differently but if you notice usually when you sit down at your computer you don't have to re-enter a changed password. It really comes down to just sloppy design and poor understanding of how systems work by front-end developers. That's also why a lot of apps make you go online to change it instead of being able to change it directly through the app it simplifies it on the back end. But if you're not using two-factor (Non SMS) with a unique password on every site doesn't matter much
Haha, about 10 years ago my missus signed up for a gym and then quickly realised she had made a mistake and tried to cancel it, the guy on the phone gave her a bunch of nonsense until I said "Let me speak to him".
I literally took the phone and said "Hi, she's not paying your ridiculous subscription, your contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. She will be phoning her bank and telling them to cancel the authorisation for your company on her debit card in about 5 minutes. Goodbye"
She did exactly what I told her and never heard from them again.
The FBI and AFP seem pretty smug about their phone strategy, but when law enforcement agencies are encouraged to break the law AND spend time collecting money for things, whether phones or drugs, the growing corruption is inevitable. Becoming organised crime is not the answer to stopping organised crime.
But aren't cops just paid thugs for the state anyway?
Goverment is organized crime without the crime, because they say so
What is then?
@@hanslain9729 Organised crime depends on other organizations (the corruption of...) to succeed. THOSE organizations have powerful ppl who could be investigated...police, church, politicians etc. The institutions have to be dismantled if that is what is necessary to hold the powerful accountable.
The cameras on Roombas are for detecting poop so if your (hopefully) animal poops on the floor it doesn’t smear poop all over your home which happened with older models.
why does a robot vacuum have the ability to receive anything? Just put a button on it to start and stop and you are done. No security flaws anymore
And why speakers/microphones?? Cameras are weird too but at least understandable to a degree. I hate sounding conspiratorial but I wouldn’t be surprised if some creep engineer (or worse, the CCP) was behind this in order to spy on customers inside their homes. Creepy either way.
That's my vacuum. Pretty dumb. And somewhat useful
celebrating 1 consistent year being a member!! thank you guys for all your hard work and the countless videos throughout this year and ALL the previous years!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i own a keeshond. getting a roomba or whatever would be a death sentence - for the roomba. ill just vacuum the floor myself lol. gives me a little serotonin boost when im done too
Damn, you're getting serotonin?
Robot-vacuums in general are a nightmare; the system is closed to the owners, but fully backdoored by the manufacturer and they only close security vulnerabilities when it would allow owners to have more control over the devices they paid for.
paypal has a lot of downsides but one plus is you can cancel any subscription with one click without ever even contacting who the subscription is with
My mom recently got a clanker vacuum and it genuinely can't be less effort to just vaccum and push furniture around instead of piling chairs and tables on top of tables and sofas. The prep work is already more than the vaccum part!
But it's a different way of cleaning. Cause after decades of cleaning your mom wants some diversity. Do you vacuum? Probably not.
This is what happens when you call a billionair Tony Stark. It gets to his head and he tries to actually fulfill it.
It kinda works, just maybe not in the way you and Elon are thinking. In the comics Tony is a reckless narcissist who destroyed his life and wealth with drugs and alcohol.
More like Phoney Stark. His robots, at his event, were using harness control technology used by Disney as far back in the 1960s!
@@abidd lol those are called Animatronics. But yeah that is my point why they never should of called him that. The man made his first millions building south africas first yellow pages online. That was it. It was a damn DIrectory Listing. Some of these billionairs were simply living at the right place at the right time.
When i heard Clankers, i immediately had flashbacks to Malevelon Creek 😮
a roomba hates to see my fat yellow lab coming
8:13 “Did I hear clankin?!” Yooo Im laughin out loud at work.
That is actually a good product a remote food dispenser for people with pets that need to leave out of town and no money to send their pet into the kennel.
already exists. you can set a timer for it to dispense food and treats at designated hours and it takes a photo of your pet while they eat and sends it to your phone
How about trigger by command and speakers to call your pets? I use to remember calling for our dogs when it's time to eat. That might be nice to actually be able to call them the you can dispense the food. 😃
@@Kcoldraz idk if they can be voice controlled but I have seen some where you can talk to your pet through the mic. It's pretty neat although privacy concerns remain
I'm not expecting voice control for the dispensing. But that is good if they have speakers so you can call your pet. 😁
Am I the only one that hasn't had any trouble cancelling gym memberships? I've changed gyms at least 5 times as a result of moving multiple times since 2020, and it's usually just giving them 30 day notice and that's it. World Gym, Planet Fitness, Club Fitness, etc, it's never anything crazy. Now, online subscriptions are different but it's rare that I'm subbed to anything that requires more than two steps to cancel.
Those vacuum cleaners should have a hardware switch to turn off wifi.
Jesus, the vacuum hack is literally the privacy invasion minigame in Watchdogs.
The future is now, old man🎉
19:48 sounds like you said helps produce instead of helps reduce 🤷♂️🤣
Okay, why was “why is there a camera” the first question on the hacked vacuums? Why wasn’t it “why is there a speaker and why is it taking audio input”?
Nobody referenced the Mos Isley Cantina bartender that "DOESN'T SERVE THEIR KIND IN HERE".
It’s a sad day when you realize your toaster is a fascist.
This is the plot of Runaway (1984) . This reality is not the dystopian future film I signed up for.
Make that confetti fly 🎉🎉
I got a second hand Dyson hand hoover. Henry just couldn't compete with the convenience
Hearing someone use the trem "clackers" outside of starwars fans is a little suprising
Nah, I much rather call robots Toasters, just like in Battlestar Galactica.
It's been in use long before Star Wars used it, Sam Slade Robo Hunter from the comic 2000ad used it as did the ABC Warriors.
There’s no hype button, where can I hype using the hype button! Damn youuuuuu Ricky!
Robotic slurs engageme- no, not actually lol
The biggest reason for the cameras is to avoid dog poop. A vacuum that bumps into dog poop is a vacuum that's leaving trails of shit around your house.
So why does a robot vacuum have a speaker, or a microphone?
Thanks guys
WE ARE THE 5000!!!
18:05 I would not forget. I haven’t missed an episode in like 8 or 9 years, and I ain’t gonna start now.
From the screen to the ring, to the pеn, to the king
Where's my crown? That's my bling, always drama when I ring
Yeah I remember being very happy my neighbors can put a camera up pointing at my home so they know when to steal packages
Cheers 🎉
Unless robots have a kill switch I don't see having one anywhere near children.
Heyyy ‼️Tesla's robot will be fully autonomous "next year" 😂
…then robots to Mars the year after, birthing babies all in the name of humanity! 😂🤣
btw, i had wracking my brain to come up with a thoughtful yet useful gift for my man and i finally landed on a manscaped kit. he is very happy.
Commenting for engagement
I'm glad they have speakers so the malicious hackers can announce themselves, by why do they have speakers?
