Smart consumers won't buy a $10 memory card on Ali because it's likely to be a destructive fake, but people will buy Internet-controlled electronics for their favorite nether regions of their bodies. Amazing. I guess that's part of the thrill.

Until a sizeable chunk of the world's workforce is erotically DDOS'd into blissful oblivion.

Mmm cyberpunk.

This thing has been an absolute nightmare since it was released 18 months ago. I've had a few people contact me (note: https://buttplug.io (NSFW) is my project, I get contacted about stuff like this all the time, someday I will write a book about various support stories) with their hardware stuck on. There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the t…

Is it the consumer buying them, or retailers/drop-shippers buying them to resell?

Buttplug.io is officially my new favourite domain name.

Even the TLD choice is apropos.

This is a case where the right TLD makes all the difference. If it were .biz, no one in their right mind is going to click that. Org must have already been taken.

Wow that product looks extremely dangerous! Sharp corners, pinch points, and a lock? Extremely irresponsible to manufacture that. I’m not sure if y’all appreciate how fragile that area is and the potential for serious injury from something like this.

Yeah, things like this used to be utilized as torture devices - with the apt name of the Pear of Anguish.

Reminds me of my visit to the Museum of Torture in Italy. Quasi-NSFW-ish but nothing gory, still, proceed with caution if you are squeamish.

I’m in Berlin. The spinny billboards arrive here advertise brothels, the fly posters say “Bleib Ruhig und Dildos benutzen” and “There is no I in anal”, and one of the largest hotels has a neon sculpture of Leda and the Swan, at least two stories tall, out front.

Not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean that you can't access the link either and that living in a more prude country therefore is not a relevant factor here?

> living in a more prude country

I think they're trying to say that given there's open advertising of various sex related things, that Germany isn't exactly prudish.

Now now, we are surely spoiled for choice these days [1]. A savvy operator could easily have snagged buttplug.holdings. Or even my personal favorite -- buttplug.fishing.

We've got some azure pipelines tasks on buttplug.io in the works that may facilitate this.

My personal buttplug domain collection includes:

http://buttplug.engineer - My personal website

http://butt.engineering - My company website (http://nonpolynomial.com)

buttplug.zone/games/cam/online/tech/work/app - Going to point to various parts of my Intiface product line at some point. Games should probably be pointed at https://intiface.com/ghr for now.
