To Whom it May Concern

| Cellphones are interesting pieces of equipment. These days they have a cute little microchip in the center of its circuit board that provides emergency functions that originally was used by rescue efforts to ping people who need saving.

These days though they haven't been used for such altruistic purposes. In fact...I'm pretty sure these have made the lives of tech savvy hitmen infinitely easier. -Neon


| That's why it's important to mod all your devices people. -CN


| You expect people to mod their personal phones? These are often the same idiots walking around with shiny new cyberware without bothering to read the T&C first. Always a laff when their hydraulic pump legs fail to deploy. -TheGreatAzul

Probably not. The corps wouldn't get away with it if people actually did it. -CN


| Or, Just borrow phone from people all the time.
-Ano


| >>109693
I think CN will agree with me here. I expect people whom enjoy living to mod everything they have if they're going to be in less than reputable company. -Neon


| By the way...reputable company doesn't exist in GC. -Neon


| >>109706
Well to be fair the sad reality for some is that they don't have the money to mod their tech. -CN


| >>109712
These days money isn't nearly as useful as connections. People won't know how to mod correctly in the first place either. Either you do jobs to make money or you collect enough favors to replace money. -Neon


| >>109716
I feel like that simplifies the situation a little but I can't say you're completely wrong either. -CN


| >>109719
Well forgive me but I'd rather not write a GC for Dummies Manuel and risk dulling the teeth of the city's natural selection feature. -Neon


| >>109724
I never said you had to preach to the choir... you don't have to be so hostile. -CN


| >>109727
Hostility was not my intent. I apologize. -Neon


| >>109734
It's fine. -CN


| Modding is easy said and basically only less that half what is intended reached. Unless one can fabricate their own gear. But then it means one has an entire production line and a lot of money to spend. Which then makes said person a player in the industry scene. And we are practically back where the discussio started at this point.

| Incorrect. If you understand how the parts of your initial device's design and it has a modular, non-proprietary reliant hardware system you can purchase the parts you desire over time. Not to mention knowing where to look both in legal and illegal markets. I'm sorry but modding requires the interested to be willing to get their hands dirty and their horizons broadened. Otherwise you take what you get and hope for the best. -Neon


| Too bad legal mods are nowhere near the best current technology has to offer...
I guess it's a compromise for accessibility. You can't have everyone running around with top-of-the-line hardware, can you?

Well yes, but this is exactly why certain types of people exist. Why some of us do what we do. The accessibility of many things one requires to survive is usually out of the average or even below average person's reach. As such...When playing by the rules doesn't work, people tend to stop. -Neon
