A security researcher has developed an amusing piece of hardware called the “Rickmote” that takes advantage of Chromecast’s simplified Wi-Fi setup, hijacking a wireless connection to deliver a YouTube video of Astley’s groan-worthy hit.

“When this loss of connectivity occurs, the Chromecast tries to reconfigure and accepts commands from anyone within proximity,” Petro wrote. “The Rickmote automatically provides this configuration in the form of everyone’s favorite Rick Astley song on loop.”

I heard recently that this was once a bannable offense on TD.
