As soon as I read about the shoe cell modem, I thought Eudaemons. It’s rad Ars called that out too!
Largely a myth though, since it was never used beyond practice. People tell stories about it being used in casinos and the tale has become larger than life
I think people conflate it with the MIT blackjack team
It was used for about $10K US (a little over $48K today) worth of takings before they stopped because one of their wearable computers was burning the wearer.
