They're fully vertically integrated from the silicone through the compiler, os, and all software running.

Silicone? I suppose even sex toys need proper security these days.

To be fair smart connected chastity cages did get hacked recently so their owners couldn't get them off.

And some of them did get off on that.

Ah shit, serves me right for posting off the cuff...

Though that is also a thing.

Don't sweat it too much, I think most people struggle with silicon vs silicone. Silicon is the hard stuff used in computer chips, silicone is the soft stuff used in sex toys and boob implants.

A few mnemonic devices that might help you remember which is which:

  • SiliCON is a semi-CONductor, silicone is not.

  • (expanded version of the previous) SiliCON is very CONventient when used in computers due to its properties as a semi-CONductor.

  • Madonna has silly cones.

On the last one, I have no idea if Madonna has breast implants or not, and quite frankly I don't really care. However, I do know that she has/had a fairly infamous outfit that included a cone-shaped bra. As such, the train of thought goes silicone -> silly cone(s) -> Madonna had silly cones -> breasts -> breast implants.
