Tried to run a Cyberpunk 2020 scenario with some friends and it just fell flat imo. Maybe years ago it would be cool but now we have fuckin video games so I'd recommend playing those over trying to play cyber games pen and paper style.

just so everyone's clear, this is a confirmation that the same software or something superior is running on your own phone right now

i definitely heard an NPR bit circa 2009 where they were talking about the FBI being able to remotely install firmware on any phone (flip phones and stuff were the primary interest, smartphones were still new) that would turn it into a mic, yeah so if the FBI was doing it in 2009 that means the NSA was doing it in 1999, and in 2019 the average russian 16 year old will be able to do it too

i specified "unplugged microwave" because sometimes a reporter is just interviewing snowden or manning and wants to be able to use their phone again when they're done

I've not yet seen a smartphone you can't pop the battery out of, so what's the other piece of the puzzle? They come with backup integral batteries, or what?

none of the new galaxy phones have removable batteries either so yours must be pretty old. go to a phone store sometime.

i've seen iphones in burma and rural china. you need to go out more or something. an easily removable battery is a compromise to the integrity and space available in the device. old laptops that had removable batteries were loving battleships yet have a fraction of the battery life. and if you really want to service the phone yourself, it's not that hard. any 5 dollar kit will do the trick

In my experience the batteries conk out long before the handset is unusable. you can replace the iphone battery but its pretty fiddly & requires a bunch of torx screwdrivers and poo poo & you might break something or you can pay a guy 20 bucks to do it

It's easy enough as long as you know how to handle a lithium battery. I can't imagine anyone doing it for $20 is all that much better.
