That's there to instill Fear into the gullible. That's it's only possible mechanism.

To this day I still don't understand what QR codes are and how to make them go. -Ralph They are a new way of checking if you have a TV licence. |

Shush, you.
I am annoyed TV licences are no longer paper. Nothing to show to prove if they knock on the door!

I still get a paper one. They keep asking me to opt out and I keep ignoring their pleas.

WHAT.
I was denied a paper one! I always liked to have one in case the TV Detector people knocked on the door.

You could always print your own off. For those improbable times a genuine check is performed on your front door rather than being a distraction for someone breaking in round the back.
Or show it on your phone?
Err, yay Transformers! Evo Fusion!

They often target low socio-economic areas. I had many clients bothered by them and had to explain their rights.

SOUNDWAVE IS NOT A WALKMAN!!! -Ralph This seems to have nothing to do with the discussion in this thread. But is indeed true. Soundwave is a dictaphone of some unknown brand, and uses tapes significantly smaller than the C90s used by the early Walkman-branded players. (The Decepticon cassettes are true 1:1 scale in cassette mod, allowing them to use real-world cassette cases - one of the rather fun bits of design in Microchange.) Karl |

And yet in the Transformers stories, various cassettes had no problem occupying C90-size devices.

We need a story about what was happening on the ground when the Ark probe, scouting for disguise modes, came upon a man in a fire chief's Lamborghini aiming a sniper rifle at a Formula-1 driver with a dictaphone.
