      Would that be "risk of being at risk"? And if so, isn't that just... risk?

      Yep, for sure. I know that my dad's pacemaker is programmable along with the contactless charging, tho to do either, you have to place something directly over the control unit on his chest. I'd be more than a little peed off if they made them able to use bluetooth.

      What limits that range? We've seen all kinds of range extension attacks as of late (well actually for a while now). If it uses radio, how are you not pretty much screwed..

      Have you ever used the contactless charging? I refuse to call it wireless charging, because it just will not work without being within millimeters of the charging device. The only communications it does is through the same hall-effect, so no, no "radio".

      Yep, I've used that contactless charging before... I thought the field could be amplified to make it work from a larger distance, but I could be mistaken. didn't know you could pass data that way, though I suppose I would be surprised if it couldn't be done.

        Amplified, yes. But how does one amplify a pace maker? And the amount of power goes up exponentially. What is 1mw at 1mm might be 100w at 1cm.

                  [moderated] Tribe. I suppose Cleveland fans should be used to a team falling over, some just happen to fall a lot sooner in the season (Browns QBs this year anyone, lol)

                          Didn't the EU tell the UK to hurry up and get out? Just seems like we won't see Brexit happen in the 2020's.

                                You're right I read that again and got a different meaning the second time around. Not sure what was the issue with the first.
