@cascheranno@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange It's unique because there is no irreparable harm done by bricking robo-lawnmowers and lots of reduction in lethal risk to real people.
People who do this kind of thing don't exactly sign their names to it. But if someone did get caught, I bet they'd have a really interesting jury trial justifying what they did, and have a good chance of getting off.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @tyzbit@toot.now @iagox86@infosec.exchange I’ve got $5 (alt: a tasty adult beverage) that says if the mowers don’t get bricked, no “lethal risk to real people” ensues. No child or puppies mowed down in their prepubescent prime. No Orwellian surveillance worse than what fucking Ring cams do, and far less than the civil liberties violated from Flock. $10 that the mowers can be secured without bricking ‘em. Tho the vendor may declare that a blanket voiding of warranty. Like I said at first, it’s dumpster juice - it’s just not an impending lethal risk. What’s the cop term? Exigent circumstances?
