Are adult toys vulnerable to cyberattacks too? (NSFW)

It seems like anything can be connected to the internet these days. While that may have some convenience to it, it does put your electronics at risk for viruses. It can also put your good name at risk, since hackers are able to gather your personal information.

Recently, a software firm called Trend Micro conducted a test on electronics to see how strong their safeguards are.
At one point, Udo Schneider, a spokesman for Trend Micro, placed a large, pink vibrator on a desk in front of him. He put in a few codes on his laptop and was able to bring the vibrator to life.
Of course, people watching the stunt giggled at the sight of a large pink sex toy on the table. However, it began to sink in that virtually anything that has internet capability can be hacked.
Raimind Genes, a Chief Technology Officer at a Tokyo branch of Trend Micro said that while it was entertaining to see, a hacker could blackmail the programming system behind any device's interface.

My Two Cents:

Now half-wit hackers are going after our vibrators?? Oh hell no!
Wait, hold up...since when did vibrators come with internet capability? Does this mean if I hook up a vibrator to the internet, I have to worry about a hacker hacking into my Minecraft game and getting my character blown up by a creeper while I'm thinking about Ruby Rose? Well that's just great.

Is nothing sacred anymore!?

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
