That Cyberpunk mission where you have to drive a dude with a malfunctioning refurbished cyberdick to the doctor was extremely on-point

gently caress, I've been joking for years that the only body mod I'd seriously consider is a giant ring through my arm that I can clip my keys to and now an implantable keyfob can provide better functionality and someone's gonna call my bluff

If you do the Corpo play through they show a team that sabotages a bunch of connected diplomats by burning out their cyberware/brains

Just got the game this week and I can't stop wondering in this future why EVERYONE chooses to be a cyborg instead of just have regular eyeballs or whatever given how easy (realistic!) it is to gently caress with cyberware remotely.

Some of the side missions go into how its necessary if you want to compete in the hell-capitalism of the dark future. There are people who refuse (like Jackie’s girlfriend) but they are usually luddites, weirdos, poors, or buddhists.

There was this thing from a while back where security researchers figured out how to take remote control of some implanted insulin pumps and do things like have it murder the user by dumping the entire reservoir at once https://www.theregister.com/2011/10/27/fatal_insulin_pump_attack/. They were eventually recalled by the FDA https://www.fda.gov/news-events/pre...oncerns-certain. e: you have to be within fairly short range for the attack to work, but it does demonstrate the dangers of rf-enabled medical devices.

You don’t even have to be connected to anything for technology to try to kill you. The programmers of non-connected life support equipment will very happily do it for you. And then the manufacturers will form an industry organization that lobby’s for less oversight.

There's a news report in CP2077 where implant manufacturers disolve the safety regulator because they claim to self-regulate. Made me laugh

I remember learning about this from the first Watch Dogs; makes sense in a way because how do you push new firmware or making setting changes or get info from it without it? Surgery? gently caress watch dogs tho.
