How secure are these Internet of Things Pacemakers?
>>
>>55104331
>IoT pacemaker
why?
>>
>>55104331
Since they're not connected to the internet and have NFC ranged reprogramming with secure flashing, pretty fucken secure.
>>
>>55104341
Because it's the future™

>get heart-attack at 50
>doctors insert IoT pacemaker
>"Ok, anon, government regulation says we have to register your pacemaker."
>be upset
>"B-but I don't want the government to have control over my bodily functions!"
>decide I'm not going to stand for this bullshit
>gather up crowd of people
>march on the streets of washington
>"It's my body!"
>suddenly feel lightheaded
>collapse on street
>all around me, my fellow protesters also begin to collapse
>see black levitating van from the corner of my eye
>last thing I remember is men in black nanosuits coming to pick us up

"let's hook up a live saving implant to the internet! what could possibly go wrong?!"

Nice story, anon.

I mean, if it's capable of keeping Stallman alive, it'll surely keep you alive

all you need is a sharp knife, some cables and following the wiki tutorial

This is exactly why I trust Apple pacemakers.
Everything come pre-installed and ready to use. No way of fucking it up. Also the proprietary OS makes sure nobody can reverse-engineer that shit and kill me.
>>
>>55104501
just follow the fucking wiki

you can even have some painkillers during accessing the device if you're a fag
>>
>2133
>not overclocking your pacemaker and the rest of your electronic enhancements
>not having water cooling installed in your body

lol poorfags, what's the point of keeping you alive if you can't even go fast
>>
>st.jude pacemaker
Literally jews
>>
>>55104415
You should be more worried about the St. part than the Jude part desu.

>your pacemaker was made by a for-profit hospital
>>
Not at all. Hackathons and security conferences are abreast (heh) with pacemaker exploits

>rooting your pacemaker
Copyright infringement, unauthorised modification of property, spreading of malicious code - 10 years in the cubes!
>>
>>55104809
what if i wrote my own free GNU+Linux kernel for the pacemaker using microsoft systemd?
>>
>>55104378
please stop.
>>
>>55104809
>implying death by bricked pacemaker isn't the more likely outcome.
>>
>>55104923
Wouldn't save you from serving your time in the cubes, creep.

Should I overclock my Radeon pacemaker or should I just wait for the new Nvidia Heart Booster GTX 980?
>>
>>55104942
Dying isss good. Dying isss easssy. I jussst put in my hand…and sssqueeze ...

>>55104331
i'm afraid you're just going to have to wait, dude. better start looking for a job.
>>
>>55104331
Pacemakers are easily hackable. But don't try to research them, or you'll end up like this guy:

>>55105055
Do you want heartburn? If not, go AMD.
>>
>>55104341
it phones your doctor when you have an irregularity in your heart rate.

i should know since my grandma's IoT pacemaker saved her life
