So it's a commonly recommended secure charging mechanism. You're like, oh, I can't trust the airport charger or something like that. You're like, well, get a data blocker.
So it's a commonly recommended secure charging mechanism. You're like, oh, I can't trust the airport charger or something like that. You're like, well, get a data blocker.
Mostly. I mean, I'm personally more concerned about the quality of the electricity coming out there frying my phone than I am about like a data situation. Because going back to the discoverability, you put something in a wide space like that, once it gets detected, you hear about it. We've not heard about it.

And especially in a secure space, like all the airport locations, like everybody's on camera, right? Like, good luck. It would be really hard. There's advisories that come out, and I think the FBI was doing them. They get a lot of flack for that because there's no, like, proof it existed, but... I don't know. I don't have the intelligence they have either. So, I mean, there's things you could do.

I also don't consider my creativity to be all-inclusive in all ways. You can do something negative. There's plenty of people with different motives and minds than me. So, yeah. We'll see. It would be a cool story. But yeah, data blockers. That's the idea. You now have safe charging. I'm like, cool. I'll put one of my things in a data blocker. Now, you know, cat and mouse.

I just thought it was funny. But just as an example, just kind of chase that a little bit. Go from there. I don't know. We'll see.

I've done a lot on the manufacturing side, so I've had to invent so many tools and mechanisms, both for creating these cables, which turns into their own products, because I'm teaching other people how to use them, and it breaks, and I've got to do support for those products, and they're their own PCBs and everything.

It's a hardware product with its own firmware, just to test these cables at multiple stages. So I'm still packing these at home with the kids and the envelopes, right? I got to label those. It gets really annoying over time. I'm like, you know what, I'm going to create a machine to label these. So I just keep chasing that down and see how much I can do. You know, there's a guy called Cliff Stoll.
