    Imagine destroying those robots as a hobby just to make the big tech lose money

      Hunting them for sport must be fun, and there is zero guilt unlike regular hunting ! I bet they are extremely vulnerable to pit traps 😁 just hide the hole under a tarp and watch em fall !

      Snare one, wrap it in some kind of faraday bag, then disassemble it and resell the parts. Or befriend it and play Frisbee together.

          Just like the T-800 and K2-SO. Reprogram all the droids.

          I mean, that won’t really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.

          That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point

          Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.

          Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.

          With a just a few just large enough neodymium magnets.

          No signal, no movement, no data.

        A half cube metal shipping container could very easily be modified to work as a faraday cage. Or even a Trash cash.

        You didn’t even need to do that. You can pull the battery packs off pretty easily. These are very easy to disable, and due to the fact they aren’t nimble, they can’t get away from you.
