[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9080003, member: 4534"] Oh, sure. It's happening because a lot of people don't really take security into mind and also a lot of this is still new to people. But let's say you're a decker and I'm a street samurai and we're running a job together. You're going to make sure my wifi is off for two reasons. The first being that having to protect my system form other deckers is distracting you from your main mission. The second is that if my systems fail then not only is the mission endangered but your life might also be endangered. (I think in 5th the decker had to go with the team on runs and couldn't just sit in an office far away.) The problem of runners going on missions with their wifi on would quickly take care of itself. Maybe I missed something. What was the advantage to have my legs connected to the wifi during a mission? It's not like I'm waiting for a firmware update in the middle of a firefight, right? It's been a while since I've read 5th edition. But the risks of having my legs rendered useless didn't seem worth the benefit of keeping my limbs hooked up to the wifi while I'm in combat. [/QUOTE]
