PJDL is a communication protocol I work on since 2010 that uses a single wire to connect up to 255 devices and can even operate using the human body as a conductor, here is the video of its operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWlhKD5lz5w

It’s called Body Area Network (BAN) and there are also standards like your router https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_area_network There are beds in hospitals that connect to the patients vitals, already.

The site did a weird thing for me. Is this because of the forced ad on the website. I recorded a video of the experience - https://www.dropbox.com/s/849ehk33unzrzfh/spectrum.ieee.org-...

I’m far more worried about my smartphone than pacemaker/insulin pump, however I don’t believe myself to be a target of state surveillance.

"Targeted surveillance" as a concept, is mainly a relic from a bygone era. If you exist, everything you do is surveilled, both by the state and private interests.

It’s worth noting specific types of surveillance are more expensive than others.

I used to be part of a team with access to data not a lot of people could see. I limited my international travel due to it.

It’s been years so anything I could even remember is useless now: significantly less paranoia.
