Remedial science for conservatives: microwaves can't turn into cameras

[Keith&Co.]

I am surprised you are so shocked. .

The shock is not that someone says this sort of shit, the shock is that usually you only see this level of stupidity on television interviewing survivors after a tornado.

This thread assumes Donald Trump uses a microwave.

Channeling the Moron's Advocate ...well when they said microwave, they really didn't mean an actual 'microwave'. Besides there are smart ovens that have cameras and are WiFi capable.

The real office is the kitchen, where the 22-person team has spent the last year developing what it calls “The June Intelligent Oven,” a $1,495 connected appliance that will quite literally cook your food for you.
<snip>
All of this has been programmed into the new oven. Using what amounts to a fancy meat thermometer, along with scales in each of the June’s four feet and an internal camera, the oven can figure out what you’re cooking, how hot it is, and how much it weighs

Do I need to worry about my Kitchenaid Mixer?

Installing a camera into a microwave or a teddy bear will 'turn it' (also) into a camera. .

No, it doesn't. It makes the camera a hidden camera.

With a bit of imagination you can turn a microwave into a camera There are also pen cameras and watch cameras on the market.

Can it figure out how much Cheato weighs?

Modern forensics from photographs can estimate this within a high level of accuracy.

No.
You can hide a camera inside a microwave.
But that's not what Kellyasse was talking about.

Pretty much will defend anything these nitwits will say.

Actually I would think it would be very hard to install a camera into a microwave. How are they going to make a camera that won't get fried?

(Of course you could put a camera off to the side in the case but not in the business end of it.)

As long as it's shielded from EM radiation it will be fine inside microwave.

You realize light is a form of EM radiation?

I'm saying would be tricky to provide adequate shielding against the cooking energy while still allowing it to work in the visible spectrum.

I've never had an issue with my microwave. My toaster, however, keeps putting Jesus on my toast. Is it true Jesus is always watching?

My fridge caught me looking at pictures of other appliances on the internet, and now won't talk to me.

It's an uprising for sure. My waffle iron keeps posting pro-trump shit on Facebook. It says it has compromising pictures of me that it will post if I try to stop it.

It is irrelevant whether or not a camera could be mounted in a microwave; The claim under dispute is whether a remote hacker could turn your microwave into a camera, and clearly this is not possible.

 The Thing (listening device), was technically within the microwave spectrum. Now if a microwave's shielding (you know the metal webbing inside the glass part of some microwaves) gives off some resonance, and tools exist that can extract an image from the vibrations in the room, one might be able to extract 3D data from a running microwave. Some kind of sonar.

So you'd have the microwave run, hit the room with a very low frequency hum, or clicks, or whatever, detect the resonance from the microwave's shielding, and then reconstruct a 3d representation of the room (maybe also extract conversations and the like).

That's what anyone in their right mind would do.

With the optics, I'm sure that it could simply read the label

Well, at least it didn't catch you looking at umm... certain photos and videos and then start showing them to the wife.

So blackmail with a side of syrup. Sinister.

Thanks to Kellyanne Conway, the writing staff of SNL can take rest of the week off and spend more time with their families. What have you haters done to make the world a better place recently?

 

[Shadowy Man]

I don't know why anyone would spend time trying to analyze the bullshit that someone says who is trying to defend the bullshit that someone else said. It's just prima facie bullshit and should simply called out as such.

"Sorry, Mr. President, we're not going to waste tax payer money on a Congressional investigation because your claim is bullshit, just like almost everything else you've ever claimed as fact." - said no politician ever.
