how are guys so unaware of these?
google flock and youtube Benn Jordan
good bit of info on the problems
Seems like it's a thing only in the US. Makes sense I've never seen them, since I've never been there.
The us and UK are the only places with systems like this to my knowledge.
There's a good chance there's systems like this elsewhere as well but by different names.
Good on ya, mate
Not everyone lives where they're used.
There's no need for sarcasm.
There's a little bit of need. This is an article talking about the widespread abuse of the devices, someone descrubed the devices, saying "well i've never seen one" serves exactly zero good purpose
Sounds like an opportunity to educate someone.
Grow up.
O, irony.
