Welcome to this episode of the Shell Phone Show. Today, we are discussing how to reset your Blindshell Classic 2 phone to factory defaults. This is a useful last resort troubleshooting technique but be warned, it will erase all user data on the device.

Key Points:

• Data on a microSD card will not be erased. If you’ve backed up content on your Blindshell Classic 2 to the microSD card, your backups will remain.
• To begin, press and hold the back button until you reach the time.
• Navigate to settings by selecting option number 5.
• Once in settings, press OK directly above number 1, then press up once to ‘About phone’, followed by OK.
• In ‘About phone’, press up once to ‘Factory reset’ followed by OK.
• The phone will confirm if you really want to perform the factory reset. Press OK to proceed.
• The phone will vibrate a couple of times and then announce ‘Please wait, performing factory reset.’
• After another 90 seconds or so, the phone will vibrate again and you will hear the phone come on.
• Wait for about 2-3 seconds after you hear the startup music to ensure the phone is connected to the network.
• The time may be incorrect initially after resetting, but there’s no need to worry.

That’s it! You’ve successfully reset your Blind Shell Classic 2 phone.

In this episode, we delve into two different issues that arise with the advancement of technology. First, we discuss the limitations and decreasing effectiveness of CAPTCHAs. Lynn Schneider, the host, highlights that as AI technology becomes more sophisticated, CAPTCHAs are easier to bypass, making them less secure. However, she mentions that companies like Google and Microsoft are working on making CAPTCHAs more accessible and efficient. They are developing potential solutions to address this issue, which we explore in detail.

Moving on to our second topic, we discuss the increasing cases of vandalism against delivery robots. These robots, used by various delivery services, have become targets for theft, acts of protest against automation taking over jobs, and simply acts of vandalism. Lynn emphasizes the significant cost of repairing or replacing these sophisticated machines due to vandalism. To counter this issue, some companies are considering deterrents such as adding cameras to capture photo evidence of vandals, alarms to alert authorities, and even arming the robots for self-defense. We delve into the legal and ethical implications of arming these defenseless robots, sparking a thoughtful discussion.

It is fascinating to witness the complexities that arise between humans and automation as technology advances. The challenges discussed in this episode raise important questions about our relationship with technology and how we navigate these complexities moving forward. As the episode concludes, Lynn expresses uncertainty about the definitive solution to the issue of vandalism on these machines. Although arming them might be an option, she mentions that the robots already have cameras to capture images of vandals, potentially leading to legal consequences for those who vandalize them.

Thanking the audience for their support and feedback, Lynn wraps up this week’s Friday Finds. She encourages listeners to share their thoughts and provides an email address, feedback@unmute.show, for any feedback. With a warm farewell and wishes for a great weekend and week ahead, Lynn signs off, promising to return with more intriguing topics next week.
