I have a friend in the midwest who actually can't use QR codes - he gets electric shocks whenever his phone tries to scan one. Definitely weird!

  Let me get this straight: your friend continues to use an electronic device which routinely delivers electric shocks to them upon execution of arbitrary software instructions?

    It's now part of his workflow. The control button was hard to reach, so he configured emacs to interpret electric shocks as "control".

      I definitely have read this reference, but I can't for the life of me remember where it came from or what was the actual bug report.

    He had depression but now it's gone, so the treatment must be working.
