Presented at
DEF CON 30 (2022),
Aug. 13, 2022, 10 a.m.
(45 minutes)
What do Apple, John Deere and Wahl Shavers have in common with med-tech companies? They all insist that if you were able to mod their
stuff, you would kill yourself and/or someone else... and they've all demonstrated, time and again, that they are unfit to have the final
say over how the tools you depend on should work. As right to repair and other interoperability movements gain prominence, med-tech wants
us to think that it's too life-or-death for modding. We think that med-tech is too life-or-death NOT to to be open, accountable and
configurable by the people who depend on it. Hear two hacker doctors and a tech activist talk about who's on the right side of history
and how the people on the wrong side of history are trying to turn you into a walking inkjet printer, locked into an app store.
