It’s a golf coarse… it’d be perfect for the simplicity of wheels.

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.”

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

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

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 73 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 33 points 20 hours ago

Because real dogs refuse the job.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 15 hours ago

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

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

You just reminded me I need to pick that back up.

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.

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

Shitty ass movie life

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

Why are you holding my birth certificate???

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

Should I drop it?

They're guard dogs

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

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 35 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

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

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

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Also putting on my conspiracy hat here for a moment. I think the assassination attempts were setups. Including the one who supposedly got his ear.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 21 points 21 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 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They were both fake. Magic healing ear.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 14 hours 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 5 points 14 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly I don't care if it was just glass what not. There would be a scab something. Your ear would not magical show zero damage after two weeks.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

An impact from a blunt object like a bullet would absolutely show damage, and clipping an ear would have to take a piece off.

If it was clipped by a sharp piece of broken glass or plastic it might, because cuts from sharp objects can bleed a lot but be pressed together and heal pretty well. My wife cut her finger on broken glass last week and it bled like crazy at first, but with a little pressure and a bandage for a couple of days you could barely tell it ever happened.

Trump was nicked by some shrapnel and played it up as being hit by the bullet for his base.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I got cuts to and two weeks no matter how small you could still see the cut. Only other explanation is he put makeup on the hide said cut. By why do that?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No visual shots of Trump are going to be as close as you looking at your own body.

Why would someone who plasters orange concealer all over his face in an attempt to not look like the pale ghoul that he is cover an imperfection with makeup?

I have no idea why a vain person would do that. It just isn't like vain people to cover up small imperfections!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

My point being even fake having a scar on his ear would cater to his base. I mean motherfucker wore a tampon on his ear for 2 weeks.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, but it didn't get him the attention he wanted so he stopped trying.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 0 points 14 hours 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.
