There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the tech. Not only that, they're doubling down on their production of unsafe equipment, including their newest toy (Link NSFW): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001341771957.html
Yeah looking forward to the day where passing unit tests results in a Neuralink-induced orgasm
That would make a great coffee-table book. Some image on one page and a short narrative on the opposing page.
“According to local laws and regulations, this item could not be shown.”
Dare I ask?
You won't find a better one in the quadrant!
Do tell!
Though like most as a rule of thumb - I try not to get that attached to my gadget addiction.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is probably the only improvised item in the kitchen that you should use to put out fires. A kitchen should have a fire extinguisher that is BC or ABC that would be best for the first attempt at putting out the fire.
Even though water is not ideal, if you have a large source of it (eg: Pool, lake, firehose, etc), it will be your best option as it can cool faster than a small battery can generate heat. A garden hose or bathtub faucet might be able to supply enough water if the battery is relatively small.
Glass fiber blankets are also a good choice for kitchen fires but once again not very common in homes.
Water is easily available, safe, and most importantly, it cools the battery (important if it has multiple cells). Powder could insulate it, causing the other cells to get overheated from the burning one and join the party.
Avoid alliteration, always.
Some of these fetishists wear them for weeks or months so that they arent able to get a full erection for a long period of time. It's all fun and games until they finally take it off and realize it's not the same. It turns out if you don't use it, you lose it.
I know many people who've used or worked with these devices for years and that has not been the case for them.
That said, due to the types of cage mechanics, weight and makeup of different cage materials, etc, there is definitely the possibility of some physical issues, including some nerve issues. It usually just things like skin irritations and discomfort though.
These days, there are a LOT of knockoffs of the major brands (like the Holy Trainer series) that are made with seriously questionable materials that don't have temperature tolerance/reforming, are missing edge filleting, etc. So if you do decide to engage in this sort of play, do your homework, read reviews, talk to communities, and don't order some random cheap thing off AliExpress.
Because the purpose of male chastity devices is to prevent erections and orgasms, long-term wearers (who are a minority compared to the amount of folk who use such as device as a form of (prolonged) foreplay or as part of an erotic roleplaying scenario) may achieve such an ejaculation by means of a prostate massage (i.e., 'milking' him). The health goal here is mainly to keep the prostate healthy though.
Chafing, pinching, skin irritations; those are common health related issues though.
> and don't order some random cheap thing off AliExpress.
Or do, just to explore the different models cheaply, but treat them as novelty items. And yes, do read up on reviews, or ask in online communities. This is, quite emphatically, not a one-size-fits-all item.
Being able to track both the name of who bought it and the location of someone using a device like this has got to be a near classic example of private information that hurts no one but could severely damage a person if it got out.
The headline is about them getting locked on, because that's funny, but the buried lead is actually this:
> The security researchers said they discovered a way to fool the server into disclosing the registered name of each device owner, among other personal details, as well as the co-ordinates of every location from where the app had been used.
That's some really sensitive info, with the potential to destroy some lives, or be used as blackmail material.
(I think this is a bigger problem in America than Europe.)
In either case, indeed, we need privacy (because other countries have terrible persecution around matters of mere sexuality) and as much maturity as we can muster when discussing it. I'm so proud of how mature this comment section is. Not a single giggling sexual joke in sight - at least here up at the top. Other sites would be riddled with it, with nothing serious discussed.
This could end way really, really badly; it is even more concerning after reading about the recent grinder fiasco with the Egyptian government.
They need a secure protocol though. Something anonymous and hard to break like a blockchain or sth better.
The perpetuation of our species is at stake.
Will every user remain locked for good?
It's only a matter of time given the trajectory we seem to be on, and I fear the consequences will be a whole lot worse than some embarrassing fire department visits involving bolt cutters.
>But to achieve this, the software relies on sending commands to a computer server used by the manufacturer.
Wow...huh...as far as security holes go, that's not even an open back door, you might as well not even have a wall....
>Pen Test Partners believe about 40,000 devices have been sold based on the number of IDs that have been granted by its Guangdong-based creator.
So ~40000 people are having commands for their Bluetooth powered chastity belt sent to and from a server in China..
I personally can't think of any company I'd feel comfortable having something like that being handled remotely, let alone some mystery company in China...
Not just about intellectual property any more.
