Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 months agoI 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

Sure. I believe that could be done with minimal effort. Either by a smarthome solution, a script on a wifi router, a script in the autostart of the laptop someone uses every day, or like tasker on a phone. But you need to get it right. Or it'll fire once you're on a 14 day trip through Europe (and absent from your house and computer), phones can be lost or replaced... And you kind of want to make sure it's robust enough so it actually works once needed, and that might be decades from now...

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