Police already have well developed relationships with ISPs. Now they can request access to the human sensing device already inside your house before they kick in your door.
That experiment made me immediately think of this ADSL over wet string test: https://hackaday.com/2017/12/14/adsl-robustness-verified-by-...

I wonder if ADSL over wet string helps the guitar sounds really reverberate in my spotify streams.

With the original Xbox, they used hard drive locking that made it difficult to swap out to a new one. Its been a very long time since I've done it, but I seem to remember having a hard drive powered by a normal ATX PC, then swapping the data cable over from the PC to the Xbox while it was still on to achieve a HDD upgrade (with other steps in the middle that i've all but forgot).
