I remember in the late 80s being at the campus computer lab and telling someone to use the mouse to move the cursor, so she lifted the mouse up and pointed it where she wanted the cursor to go. Not quite Scotty in Star Trek IV, but awfully close.
This was necessary with the Sun optical mouse pads when they shifted at an angle. You'd have to lift and nudge the pad back to get it orthogonal again.
My TV remote has a built in microphone. I feel like Scotty every single time I use that feature.
And your FBI agent laughs everytime you do the voice for them.
That'd be the AIVD over here, not the FBI, and I'm fairly sure they wouldn't need to bug my remote control if they wanted to listen in.
My grandma did the same in the 2000s. It was her first time seeing the family computer, and she picked up the mouse and placed it against the screen, trying to focus the login field for our Windows machine.
