I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.

Is there anything else?

    Was there a scandal where a chess player had a vibrating buttplug controlled by another person giving him the answers? That’s….dedication I guess

      I believe it was more like: a guy was accused of cheating (against Magnus Carlsen), and anarchychess on reddit came up with the buttplug theory. Now everyone thinks it actually happened.

      There was, and then some guy put it to the test á la mythbuster style. I’ll leave the conclusion for you to enjoy

          Considering that you can control Lovense toys (and others) from any where in the world, if they had no delay in the live feed, it would be simple to communicate moves, even to a complete novice.

          From there, all you’d need is somebody in the audience with a chess game open and set to the highest difficulty.

          That person “plays” as magnus and sends the moves the AI takes.

          The easiest way to prevent it is to prevent people in the live audience from having phones, and delaying the feed ~5 minutes for everyone else.

          which is normal, actually, since you want to cut the feed before a streaker… oh right this is chess.)
