You can't teach a corporation manners. If you are going to talk about corporations as if they are people (and legally they want us to treat them as people) then you have to face that they are, technically speaking, artificial psychopaths (incapacity to experience guilt, failure to conform to social norms and respect the law, reckless disregard for the safety of others, deceitfulness in pursuit of profit, etc). Very powerful, immortal, artificial psychopaths.
I remember that the detectives working on the Soham case in 2002 sent a voicemail to one of the missing girl's phones and then appealed on TV for their abductor to listen to the message. At the time this seemed like quite a strange thing for the detectives to do (people were a lot less savvy about phone evidence back then). It got a lot of coverage in the press.
In retrospect I wonder if it was a stingray-type gambit, whereby if the abductor turned the phone on they would be able to trace exactly where they were. I don't think it got mentioned in court so perhaps it was unofficial/inadmissable
You might be thinking of the murder of Milly Dowler. IIRC there was a scandal about reporters hacking into her voicemail, leading investigators to believe she might still be alive.
Not really, at least not in Windows. There are no cross-application macros in Windows, just intra-application ones, and that only for some applications.
It is a little better on MacOS with AppleScript, which can be used to bind different applications together. But not all of them, and it is far from ideal.
In the end, nothing of this is command-line equivalent.
Btw, if you want to see a GUI application that can do really really good macros, learn Blender! E.g. you can bind any button and knob to keyframes to change them in animations. That would be the level of macro-integration required to be CLI-like...
