The smart pill you swallowed this morning has been hacked and is now releasing 20 different drugs at once

>no way in hell they're going to be anything but closed circuit.

Honestly you'd probably be doing the guy a favor in terms of his lifestyle.

There has been serious legal debate over whether it counts as rape if you keep a wi-fi activated vibrating sex toy inside you all day, with the intent of giving your spouse full control over the toy and being unable to control or predict when it will start or stop, and it gets activated by a hacker while you think it's your spouse doing that.

Would that also apply if someone steals whatever's used to control it (I'd assume a phone) and activates it?

Or are both able to be dismissed because you can always remove the toy, barring additional elements such as a chastity cage?

This is why rape should just stay "unwanted penetrative sexual intercourse", fullstop.
Within this simple four word phrase, it protects both men and women, and includes oral and anal, as well as fingers and tongue.
Relegate sexual assault using objects to be a different crime.

I dunno. Shoving a stick or club up one's hole without their consent sounds pretty much like rape for me.

It does sound like rape, but it does open the way for such vague situations like the WiFi dildo.
Better to draw a hard line where it makes sense and exclude some very-rape-like situations, than to draw a slightly more liberal line and include a lot of sorta-rape-like situations alongside actual rape.

So you walk around with no interal protection from flash-pattern hypnosis?

This is why the most recent edition of shadow run is fucking awful.

Direct acess maybe, but they'd need heavy shielding to prevent wireless intrusion into it's internal processors.

You literally what?
Do you even know how radio reception via an antenna works?

M8, if they haven't got a transceiver, nobody's getting in wirelessly.

Get sophisticated enough and the very circuits can be used for antennae, the highjack signal overlaying the owners intentions.

I guess it's good that someone is thinking it through in advance, then. Still, these legal scholars probably need to get out more

Uh, no. Reception requires an LC circuit or absolutely insane signal strength.
Even if you COULD brute-force a signal into a circuit like that, you'd have zero control over which wires you were affecting so you'd be unable to hack. And you'd be putting that signal into every damn device on the city block.

Directional focused transmission.

Sci-fi handwaving really.

Ah, so you're a retard who uses sci-fi handwaving in an argument. Thanks for clearing that up.

Joke's on all of you, I can't afford any of this.

Ah, but can you avoid the usurious lines of credit, rent-to-own policies, mortgages and extended repayment loans targeted at marginal income persons such as yourself to encourage the purchasing of hardware that you can't afford?

I got mild ADHD so hypno doesn't actually work on me. It's just kinda in one ear and out the other.

Would she scold me and spank me if I shot my mouth off to her?

>Inelegant. I'd just set the parental control options to consider the original user a permanent nine-year-old, and then lock him out. Don't worry, your sexbot will make sure you eat ALL your vegetables, finish your homework, and go to bed on time.
>motherly cuddles
>headpats
>will let you sleep in her bed when you're scared or had a terrible day

desu this might be an improvement.

just have "sexual assualt" be its own broader, less serious crime. Like manslaughter vs murder

if your signal is that strong you're going to destroy some or all of the circuitry and you've basically made an EMP weapon not a hacking device.

or i just build a faraday cage into the external case of my device and you can't do shit.

No! My clever revenge scheme, foiled! The overelaborate fucktoy furthered his hedonistic, short-sighted habits, but synthetic maternal love turned his life around!

>you're going to have to stick a usb cable up my ass because that shit isn't going to be wifi enabled
Oh, it will be. It will be wifi-enabled, just like your car and your thermostat and your power meter and your light bulbs and everything else. And you'll put up with the possibility that it might get hacked in almost exactly the same way you put up with shitty insecure software right now, because for some reason that's what everyone does.

We really do have wifi-enabled pacemakers now. I don't know why.

>Your food printer has been hacked, and only prints dicks.

> We really do have wifi-enabled pacemakers now. I don't know why.
Even better, recently a zero-day was found in a particular brand of Wi-Fi-enabled pacemaker that allowed for complete remote control over it, and it was so fucking bad the company had to invite all the people who got it and patch the firmware.
And don't even get me started how the Bluetooth stack itself has 8 (!) zero-days in it.

Yeah, medical devices are notoriously insecure.

(((They))) have worked around air-gaped machines. You just "had" to get the toy that would talk dirty with you.

...so basically get to the hospital and flush my Smart Liver™ and it's like nothing happened? Fucking amateur hackers.

What part of 'closed circuit' are you not getting? Fully awake for the painless procedure you'd notice the wi-fi transceiver being put in and then that doctor would be fired for allowing himself to even BE hackable as a violation of Dr/Patient confidentiality.

That, like all other air-gap breaking techniques, requires they have already compromised your system. No shit they can get data off a compromised system.

That is the way big companies are trying to make things go, but it's important to note that it's not all technology and people are largely against it and there has been huge backlashes over every hacking incident.

Most voting machines are unshockable, either running on proprietary networks or not even being connected to anything and having to be collected for the count. Only machines run by the DNC are on an open, hackable network, ironically every machine Hillary Clinton got the majority on.

Companies don't like backlash and accusations, they don't like mobs of angry customers demanding money back, compensation, and attacking CEOs in their homes every time their customer base is robbed yet again. The corporate trend of mitigating liability is just giving up the totalitarianism and letting products be unhackable.

Yeah, plenty of people tolerate a barely starving, legally homeless or actually homeless lifestyle just to avoid the head ache of being victims of usury.

Not just medical devices, just about everything is hooked up to the internet for no real reason nowadays.
Including shit like dams and floodgates/barriers.

Yeah, corporate and angry mob style pressures are basically going to make it where hacking requires some physical force to make the hack possible.

Got my hand dandy Hack-Jack™, trusty 20mm pistol, and 90 seconds. Time to see if my first mark has any money/would make a good patsy...

But what if someone were to hypnotically rub both your ears at the same time?

>Be OP
>nothing has changed whatsoever

Don't worry you forgot to take it like every other fucking patient on the planet.

t. Pharmacist

It wouldn't hypnotize me but it'd be pretty comfy.

>Companies don't like backlash and accusations, they don't like mobs of angry customers demanding money back, compensation, and attacking CEOs in their homes every time their customer base is robbed yet again.

Yeah, I'm sure Equifax is really shaking in their boots right now. Remember when Target got breached and hackers got access to around 40 million credit card numbers? The company nearly went bankrupt due to angry—wait, no, nothing like that happened.

The real situation is a lot more like the old Lily Tomlin sketch:
>We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company.

I own a smart television. I don't use any of its smart features. The reason for this is that I actually read many of the contracts I agree to— not all of them, or even most of them, but many of them. (Banks and medical institutions screw you over the hardest. And there's a night-and-day contrast between Steam and Good Old Games; if you're at all concerned about your rights, opt for the latter over the former.) My Samsung TV came with an arbitration clause which was supposed to direct you to an opt-out URL. However, whoever wrote the EULA forgot to include the URL, and I never found it. I don't think anybody else noticed.

There must be SOME reason. Damned if I can figure out what it is, though.

Thank you, that was hilarious.

Target did lose money. And the change has not occurred overnight yet. It's an ongoing struggle as companies demand totalitarian control but constantly get bit in the ass by their own methods. So at present not every item from every company has open connections. Time goes by, connections increase, one is compromised in a major way, connections decrease. The only way to make the problem entirely go away will be when corporations finally give up and stop trying to literally control every aspect of everyone's lives.

And those EULAs and TOSs stopped being viable in court about a decade ago.

Well one of the reasons. Shadowrun has always been a game played despite its rules

...

So that's what it is

It could just be that they're not integrated to the body unlike you tinmen.

I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome my skull gun is.

No wonder, all that skull gunfire has probably deafened you.

normiedrones are too sheepish to react to some whore getting stabbed across the tube they sure as fuck won't speak up to tell you to turn it off

Eh, after a while it's just being considerate, not using loudpeakers.
'Sides, what if you're listening to some really deep shit?
Some normiedrone would probably bluescreen fretting over your tripstep tunes sounding too much like his Heartron's warning sound.

It's the 「CURRENT YEAR」 of 20XX
I listen exclusively to japanese rap and serb country
