    I’m trying to figure out whether this is a felony or not under the notorious CFAA

    In practice, any ordinary computer has come under the jurisdiction of the law, including cellphones, due to the interstate nature of most Internet communication.

    Maybe it depends on whether those speakers are only bluetooth or somehow internet connected?

    I zoomed in to see Dad more clearly and the first words that came to my mind “Dad’s a choad.” Whatever that means.

    I once discovered that the waffle house jukebox is accessible online. Me and some friends were drinking and played all star for 4 hours straight. Someone tried at one point to insert other songs, but there was an option to give your song priority.

    The jukebox went dead around 3am.

    Initially connect when the target isn’t home, as a number of speakers make a distinct “startup” noise when a device connects.

    After that, bear in mind that most bluetooth speakers have a small delay before they play audio, and this often means that the first second or so of audio will be cut off. Unless you use another app to keep a constant silent noise playing. The silence being sent as audio to play effectively “warms up” the speaker so the cut off portion is during the silence, not the actual noise you want. Some speakers need this silence to be infintessimally quiet static, as they’ll just drop pure silence. Pretty sure there’s an app on F-Droid for this.

    You wouldn’t want your friend to only hear part of the chirp after all.

    Also, most devices with a screen have a way to display the name of what device is connected. This especially applies to casting to screens. Name your phone something generic for safety.

    Start it at night when his bedroom light goes off for him to sleep. Let it go for approximately 30 seconds after his light turns on so he gets up to check then cut it off. Repeat until you’re tired enough that’s it’s no longer worth the joy. You can also raise the volume slowly when he decides he’s going to sleep through it and deal with it tomorrow
