The best solution to this that I've seen was a system where the lighter was hanging from a string on a hook in the ceiling.
It had enough slack that it could reach the couch and table comfortably, but no one would absent mindedly pocket the thing.

Roddy Piper was the best wrestler turned actor and you can't convince me otherwise.
Both this movie and They Live are incredible.
I miss when viruses were fun instead of extortionate
I get this too. However, you'll usually be able to tell the professionals your end goal during the quoting process and if your requirements are reasonable, they'll work with you.
If they won't do that, then you get to ask yourself the next question:
- Do they have a good reason to refuse? (safety [either theirs or yours], regulations, etc)
If not, then you can just refuse the quote and work with someone else.
More often than not, the professionals know what they're doing and will be able to work around your requirements, and if they can't, they'll have competitors that can.
It varies.
In most cases it's more a question of "What is the risk if I do this myself?" and "If I completely fuck this up, is it going to cost more to fix than just calling someone who knows what they're doing before that happens?"
If the answer to the above doesn't involve a fire in my walls or serious water damage like with electical or plumbing, and the cost to fix mistakes is low, then sure, I'll try it myself first.
I feel like this will be an easily understandable concept, provided that money still exists

"...with a death total so high that we have been banned from telling you the number..."
The difference between "How did they do it?" and "How did they do it?"
I tend to just check uptime before asking this question.
If I see the machine has been up for weeks and they tell me they rebooted it, I know i'm dealing with someone who doesn't know that pressing the power button on the monitor doesn't turn the computer off.

On one hand, hosting content online isnt free, so there should be some form of subsidization to offset that. But I feel like selling my privacy to massive firms so that they can analyze my habits to serve me ads about things I would be statistically more likely to buy is a bad solution to this problem.
I dont have a good fix, as the only 2 alternatives that seem to show up are paid subscriptions and decentralization. Which are both useful options, but not one that fits all cases.
