Oh boy, you really can install Linux anywhere. I just installed Linux on the patient's pacemaker, during the operation. They have no idea! SSH works, getting Apache on there now.
i get the joke but the pacemaker's mostly just a battery. it doesn't have much more radio than the magnetic/wireless charger your phone uses. very, very short range, no wifi at all. it's the other implants that the pace powers you have to worry about.
This needs to be disrupted. I bring pacemaker as a service, fully connected, for a small monthly upfront fee you can enjoy the latest in pacemakers, the i❤️.
if anyone actually decides to do this, i will literally beat them to a bloody pulp with my cane. yes this is an actionable threat come get me i will get you
[mods if you are going to allow jokes about that kind of unspeakable violence against the disabled you have to let the disabled vent about those jokes. fuck you]
"Probably won't fit in flash with the kernel and Apache. But I could rewire the electrodes to UART instead, that seems more practical than interfacing with that weird pulse generator."
@RomulusCornflakes no frigging way wouldn't that need wifi or a cable out to ssh? And that same pace maker supposed to run for decades on the same battery?
Pacemakers can in fact be wirelessly communicated to for diagnostic purposes, and likely do have some type of onboard monitoring system that maybe has a conventional OS. Doubt you could get a normal linux install onto it though, and definitely not an apache server.

The year is 2027. Police bust your door down and cuff you. Your pacemaker took part in a ddos attack on the gov servers

It also doesn't have age verification and the patient lives in California.

and it's running a bleeding edge build of systemd and thus currently under attack by social media trolls.

There’s going to be a Skyrim release in about a week. The patient will wake up in the back of a creaking wagon.

Yes, but the heartbeat will be synced to the gameplay.
