Kill switch

A kill switch, every doomsday machine has one, I guess. It's the last resort off button, and a huge plot device. Robot going crazy? Kill switch. Inator foiled by a teal platypus? Kill switch. Machine gains sentience and greatly dislikes it? Kill switch. It's that easy!
"Bro, help! My vacuum is turning on me and becoming evil!"
"Does it have a kill switch?"
"Uh... no?"
"It was nice knowing you."
