T-code – A protocol for implementing UART serial communications to an adult toy
- defrost 4y agoI'm not seeing anything related to security and 2FA. The last thing the world needs is Pear of Anguish ransomware.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoBeing a UART protocol, it seems like physical access is assumed. It's interesting as an asynchronous variant of g-code. Given the inherent safety implications, I think an improved protocol would benefit from some sort of checksum and feedback mechanism. Also, it seems perhaps a bit confusing to overload both position and velocity control using the same "l" code.
- thot_experiment 4y agoThat's because it's completely irrelevant at this level, not everything needs security baked in.
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoBut imagine its a intruder who gets you off, not your significant bother. Imagine the implications, if adam gets with eve.. thats almost original sin.
- CoastalCoder 4y ago> significant bother Fabulous.
- imhoguy 4y agoIt is Rust so must be safe.
- Uncheck42 4y agoT-Code itself is just a protocol and has no particular programming language. Buttplug.io which is part of the same project is written in Rust, but that's another story.

- poulpy123 4y agothat makes the things spiciers
- iudqnolq 4y agoAmusingly a significant subgroup finds the idea of vulnerabilities exciting.
- Uncheck42 4y agoThe security should be baked into the relay aka. whatever you use to translate the data from a IP based protocol to serial data. T-Code is designed to be simple to understand, implement and decode by micro controllers over a wired connection and those micro controllers often lack the processing power to do cryptographic security. This relies more on physical security.
- fulafel 4y agoMost small microcontrollers can do cryptographic security even in pure software - a c64 6502 can too.

- culi 4y agoone of these days one of these toys is gonna have IFTT integration or a webhook
- epse 4y agoWith buttplug.io (the author) you can already do that. Maybe not IFTT, but you can definitely automate them however you like

- oefrha 4y agoPretty sure camgirls have been using vibrators connected to online gifting systems for a long time.
- noduerme 4y agowell see, the problem is those systems are all closed source and centralized through servers run by pimps. A FOSS protocol for remote manipulation of vibrational devices on N-axes is just the sort of thing needed to kick off a committee that'll spend the next ten years drafting a plan to decentralize vaginas. [Edit: Also, blockchain! My GOD why has no one made a vibrator that only vibrates once a payment block is confirmed 6 times?]

- noduerme 4y agoOh don't be such a pessimist. Two thousand years ago, a dude with his hands nailed to a wooden cross was just a routine thing people would walk by on the street. Hangin' people from cranes was routine just a couple years ago in Iran; throwing them off buildings was normal in a big part of Syria. Indonesia just banned unmarried sex. A fucking internet-connected sex toy is not on God's list of shit the human race should be punished for. Most of what it should be punished for is the ignorant shit done by ignorant people in God's name and the name of "morality".
- winReInstall 4y agoSo he preached the truth to the dead, the mad and the kharma low. And his word was heard, though not by ears in need. Religion is just a low-energy survival mode of human civilisation. Regression happens upon environment collapse.
- nigerianbrince 4y agoI understand HOW, but I do not understand WHY.
- thot_experiment 4y agoOh lots of reasons, just hypothetically here are some completely random examples: - Hook up GPT-2 into a voice synthesizer, stable diffusion and your toy and fuck an AI - You can sync toy vibration to the thrusts in a porno as detected by an beat detection algorithm - You can add toy vibration as an interactivity dimension in a lewd VR game.
- trinovantes 4y agoStreamers sync donation amount to vibration amount Or so I've heard
- dj_mc_merlin 4y agoOnly yesterday I embraced the idea that we might have an actual AGI within a decade. Today, I embrace the idea that if it does exist, I should find some way to fuck it. I don't know why, but I don't think I will accept we live in the future otherwise.

- lemper 4y agothe people on buttplug.io are very passionate with their hobby. i really aspire to be like them. the passion, not the hobby.
- luoc 4y agoThere is nothing wrong with this sort of hobby. Give it a shot :D
- perth 4y agoþis^
- Chazprime 4y ago(Not after a big meal though)
- luoc 4y agoIt's getting more exotic but I wouldn't say this niche doesn't exist either
- lemper 4y agocorrect. I just don't want to.
- ningunoynadie 4y ago
- qdot76367 4y agoAw shucks, thanks. :D (And yeah the hobby def ain't for everyone, unless you like the social/messaging work taking up 5x the time the technical work does XD )
- eska 4y agoThis isn’t like G-code at all.
- kleiba 4y agoMore like G-spot.
- kleiba 4y agoTo what degree do modern sex toys come with sensors in addition to actuators? With enough usage, you could employ ML to learn the "optimal" reaction of the toy to the current sensor state. Of course, additional (external) sensors would probably help but probably be too intrusive.
- sofixa 4y agoSomebody has already done this - (original was deleted so had to pass through a third party cacher) https://www.unddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1f607z/comment/ca7an5w/ https://www.unddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1f607z/comment/c...
- quenix 4y agoWhat a bizarre hobby
- kleiba 4y agoExcept I don't quite buy that it has actually been done, the post reads more like somebody's fantasy.
- lambdaone 4y agoKnowing some people who have done similar things, it's perfectly plausible, and doesn't read like fantasy to me. You're getting a glimpse into a niche subculture, like skydiving or rock climbing.
- kleiba 4y agoNot saying it's infeasible, I just don't believe that the person who posted that bit actually did implement it.

- ffmpegy 4y agoutilising teledildonics to cheat at chess is the most cyberpunk thing I have ever seen on HN.
- josephd79 4y ago“Teledildonics” haha.
- shakna 4y agoThe word might be amusing, but it's not a joke. That's the term that has been used for a number of years, now.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoThat's why I have this phone in my pocket that can access the internet via the airwaves. Checkmate corporate network! Oh, wait, now Google will update the ad analytics for me based on this visit. Abort! Abort!
- Waterluvian 4y agoThis is why I had to fork nipple.js years ago. A harmless joystick library with a “ha ha okay…” name. Oh and another: I had an uncomfortable talk with IT when I tried to navigate to the TypeScript playground by visiting “tsplayground” which… was definitely not typescript. Finally: I will type “pythong” maybe once a month into bash. I’m not sure what that says about me. Sorry this is off topic now. Naming is hard… sometimes fun.
- martin_a 4y agoTales from the corporate firewall: Yesterday I couldn't access a website where "rechtsextremismus" (Right-wing extremism) was part of the URL. Obviously that URL contains sex and should therefore be blocked. -_-
- hairofadog 4y agoHa. Similarly a friend once told me that in days of yore she worked at a place where “postits” (as in, will you please order some more postits) was automatically transformed to “post*ts” in their intra-office chat system.

F*ckdrive. We live in the future.
