I was shocked when a medical device I got had a built-in CDMA modem to send telemetry to my insurance company. Thankfully there's an airplane mode.

- abstractbarista 7y agoThat's terrifying! If it weren't for the airplane mode, I'd open it up and destroy the antenna traces.

- favorited 7y agoThat's pretty much what it's for! If you don't use the modem, you need to export usage data onto an SD card and mail it in. Conceptually, I understand that they don't want to continue paying for a therapy if you're not actually using the equipment. But having a wireless modem built-in is a bridge too far.
