[Coco] OT: pacemaker

[James C. Hrubik]

I think I can pretty much guess the answer is yes.  They calibrate and read them via built-in wi-fi (also contributes to battery drain).  There have been several articles written about the worry over the thingies being remotely hacked.  I just hope the password for all of them isn’t “password”.  I’d hate to wake up in the middle of the night to find out I was mining bitcoin in my sleep <G>.

A leader is someone who walks 
out front and takes the hits for 
the people who are behind him.
"Leading from the rear" is oxymoronic.
