Film idea: guy loses phone on holiday and rushes to disable his dead man’s switch

Reminds me of an article posted on Lemmy earlier about how there was a call for a bilingual sign to be removed in London. The article was actually about Elon Musk backing this move, about this sign, the controversy, etc. in reality he responded to some dude complaining about it with a reply saying “yes”. Three letters, bam, several journalists are writing articles and people are posting your opinion all over the internet.

I wonder if you could make a dead man switch something more benign, like have it restart whenever you plug your phone in to charge, turn on a light switch, start a car, all three, etc

I believe posts are hosted locally on the user’s instance, so I guess it’ll be a scream into the void, possibly not a way to view them on Lemmy (although may still be visible on Mastodon)
