It seems that visualization...So mouse jigglers are a thing now
By Jon Dron 9 December 2021 @ 9:30pmwww.amazon.ca - A mouse jiggler is a mechanical device that literally jiggles your mouse, or a dongle that electronically mimics mouse movement.

By Terrence McDonnell 3 December 2021 @ 6:12pmwww.spyfu.com - This article outlines operators you can use while searching on Google.

Nice find! As a philosophy graduate with an ongoing interest in ethics I have much enjoyed the series myself. I believe that the writing team included professional philosophers to help generate and critique the plot, so there's a lot of academic depth hiding just beneath the entertaining and absurd surface. It's quite fun trying to spot the philosophers/schools of philosophy being called upon in each episode, as well as in the broader trajectory of the plot.
