Aw man. Shit like this just makes me itch.

This is obviously a shitty, low-budget effort, with all the RF interference, and stupid architecture fails in the software.

If someone with even the smallest amount of skill decided to build one of these for nefarious intent, we would all be massively screwed.

How often do you check your HDMI/USB/USB-C cable for a GODDAMN MICROPHONE CIRCUIT?!?
