If there’s an exposed speaker hole, a long enough push pin or coat hangar wire can probably ruin the cone and coil.
Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 5 months agoI’ve tried pressing every button at every pump I’ve used in my area and this trick doesn’t work. I want to epoxy the speakers and screen and glitter-bomb the entire thing.
I won’t. But I want to.

I really can’t afford to commit a crime by damaging the pumps, but if I found a way to temporarily disable them I’d be all for it.

I reckon you could kill it with a pin in a casual enough way, maybe make it look like you’re just putting a hand there to lean? Also you have like 4 other people come throughout the day and get gas at that same pump, and they do a similar casual hand movement around the speaker.
You’d be safe as houses, probably!

Appreciate the response, but I will stick to my non-criminal protest against the ad industry.

Definitely had to resist the urge myself a few times to jam my keys into the speaker when the mute button method didn’t work.

Sometimes it’s multiple presses. Around here for example I find that at my local Shell station it’s the second button down on the right side, two or three times.

At the 76 here its also the second down from the right but only needs a single press.

I was trying to figure out how to shut the one at my local grocery store up and discovered that you can get into the administrative menu if you push two buttons at the same time.

You should install Doom on it.
