“Most electronic shopping cart wheels listen for a 7.8 kHz signal from an underground wire to know when to lock and unlock. A management remote can send a different signal at 7.8 kHz to the wheel to unlock it. Since 7.8 kHz is in the audio range, you can use the parasitic EMF from your phone's speaker to ‘transmit’ a similar code by playing a crafted audio file.”

This sounds improbable but I needed to use it just now and it worked both times.

Hack this Shopping Cart

@mjd what shopping carts have lockable wheels these days? that is insane
@boreq @mjd lots of grocery store carts have a warning that the wheels will lock if you take them off the property to discourage people from stealing them. I thought it was just BS but I see I was wrong
To be fair metal grocery store carts are actually pretty expensive

I've never seen this in my entire life, and no I don't live in a high trust society
