This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

A tiny cyberpunk-style implant at the tip of the penis that would act as laser sighting for drunken midnight pee breaks (lemmy.world)

Lots of stories of DIY implanting an RFID chip into your hand or finger … and mostly a whole bunch of stories about infections, a few about ‘wait the battery died now i have to dig it out’ … basically just learning the hard way all the lessons actual medical implant designers learned 30 or 40 yeats prior.

To me this soundness like madness, perhaps even a little bit of degeneracy (in the functional meaning of the word, the intent isn't to primarily use it as an insult).

Why do you think anyone that actually knows anything about cybersecurity laughs at the idea of having a ‘smart home’ filled with easily hackable or just self-bricking bluetooth doodads?

I do a lot of DIY project with my SBCs/Raspberry Pi and I am not simply not comfortable opening up my services to the wider internet. They all stay on a local network.

The very early biohacking scene did indeed have a lot of insanity.

A few people definitely learned the hard way that uh, oh, maybe I shouldn't have made an incision right there, now I have permanent nerve damage.

As for your own at home setup... yeah, you are what I would consider 'someone who actually knows something about cybersecurity', as opposed to the vast majority of morons who just read a buzzword or some corpo nonsense marketing and then proudly proclaim its all fine and secure because big corporation that makes a baffling amount of money from dataharvesting would never lie to me!
