    Isn’t that part of most cyberpunk lore? That they have to hack those attachments or get them at shady backyard shops, because they would originally be under control of the big company that controls everything and also provides security?

    I’m not much into cyberpunk though, so my impression might be off.

      Most cyberpunk tends to handwave it, consider the sheer amount of crime in such settings but generally no one every has their implants shuttdown unless its by hacking. In many settings it doesn’t even need a wireless connection (shadowrun) but IRL we’re almost certainly going to end up with always online implants for the soel purpose of control.
