My Elecraft KX3 radio's computer link cable is almost the same RS-232 over TRS pinout that the ET312 uses. I think one pin is different, though, and had to build a sort of crossover cable.

Ok, since you're familiar with the ET-312... You know we reversed the ET-312 to the circuit level, right? :) https://github.com/buttshock/mk312-bt

Yeah I've looked at that a number of times. I always thought it was cute that they went to so much effort to scrape the part numbers off the ICs.

They got an actress to play with a toy live at a former brothel owners house to promote their porn related ICO.

Oh, so live model means a living-women late Dennis Hoffs - no idea who that is cathouse = brothel? because of pussy cat? lovense - no clue vajayjay - please don't tell me that is supposed to be vagina, are we still in middle school? taking ETH porntoken ICO investments - something about money? toy - this must be the teledidonics through the ethereum blockchain - hey, whatever is your kink

Dennis Hof https://www.google.com/search?q=dennis+hof

Cathouse near Reno: https://www.loveranch.net

Where as massage parlors in the rest of America give men hand jobs and more for $40+ after a massage, a cathouse will skip the massage pretext and go right into sex because the Nevada law allows it in certain counties. They don't need a massage as an excuse to charge for sex.

The lovense info is on the github readme page.

One can’t help but wonder how much that trend has accelerated now that the modern phone is waterproof and trivially cleaned.

The phones are much larger today too large to be inserted* tho. *comfortably, by most people I would assume.

Lots of vibrators aren’t inserted.

Hi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!

I thought you might like to see this email that an earnest user sent us this evening. I got permission to share it anonymously: So qdot handled this thread beautifully today. I don’t know who this person is but they managed to simply handle all questions, openly and without being rude. They spun gold from snark, they gave the childish a mature reply, and this post’s comments were a joy to read for how worthwhile they…

I... wow.

Many thanks to whoever sent that complement, as well as dang for pointing it out to me. It's been a pleasure to be in this thread, lots of interesting questions and honestly unexpected (but certainly welcome!) positivity.

I'm printing this out and hanging it on my wall.

Would it be terribly slutty for me to suggest a Peer2Peer protocol? Not everyone's into Master/Slave connections...

We're working on WebRTC now. There's still the issue of STUN server handshaking there but it's Peer-to-Peer after that.

What use case are you thinking of? Two peers, or routing through networks of distributed decentralized peers?

For the latter you could take your existing model and add an extension "gateway protocol" that would connect servers to servers, and through that protocol support advanced routing, which would in effect become a distributed decentralized peer to peer network.

(obviously all that is a lot more work than you need for your use cases, but it seems like an interesting way to give people sexual agency without either a) commercial infrastructure or b) potentially unsafe public services)

Remote estim has been around for decades actually, it's just all developed in very small, private (and sometimes extremely hostile, yes I'm looking at you Smartstim) communities so the info doesn't really get out much.

seriously, I have it sitting on my PS4 at like 95-100% in everything after one playthrough when I first got it, except Area 5 because I really cannot be bothered to run it like 5x in a row to remember all its little tricks. I'll probably buy it again when I replace this PS4 and there's a re-remake. If you haven't played Polybius or Sayonara Wild Hearts, I can highly recommend them - they are both games that stroke th…

Sayonara wildhearts looks wonderful! Just got it and I'm looking forward to playing it over the long weekend :D

It’s a hell of a ride!

It may also be a magical working. I am dead serious here.

Tell ya what, this thread is starting to fall into the ether, so I'll throw you an email.

Anyone else who happens on this and wants to know more, please feel free to DM me on twitter or email me, all the info is in my bio.

I'm a bit surprised how many hardware are supported: https://iostindex.com/?filter0Availability=Available,DIY . It's like a whole new world of names: estim machine, rabbit, bra vibrator, twerking butt deluxe, night howler, kinikat ... Even the Microsoft Xbox controller made the list.

The scope of things that people, usually teenagers, use as a vibrator is surprisingly wide. It’s not uncommon for game controllers and phones to serve this purpose for those who can’t get a dedicated device. The thing that comes to mind is the Harry Potter broom that vibrated to simulate flight, which had to be recalled after parents were outraged; although honestly I feel like everyone should’ve seen that coming.

Probably the same prudish parents who got outraged over the ET Finger Light.

Or the Dune Sandworm Action Figure:

Sometimes a Dune Sandworm Action Figure is only a Dune Sandworm Action Figure.
