RE: magical items in personal belongings, and ability nerfing

Rowan has an ability that allows them to connect any item with a normal UI (phone/laptop) to any sort of tech, regardless of whether they should be able to or not (street lights, cctv cameras, house security system, etc.). It's generally aimed towards items that usually don't have a UI, and if there's any sort of security attached to the item they'd still have to break through it.
A) would this be nerfed entirely, or would they have some level of access to it (just to give an idea for the TDM, I don't need specifics on how much nerfing if the answer is not an outright no), and B ) if it isn't completely nerfed, would it work using a Syntrofos?

Related to that: both their phone and their laptop (current real life tech level) are included in their personal items. They aren't inherently magic, but magic has been used to jailbreak them, and they've been used to access various other werewolf magics. Would this count as magical enough to bar them, or would they be accessible for the tdm?

Oh that ability seems interesting, and yes it should more-or-less work in the setting! Their connection to Karterian devices might not be as stable as they were used to, however- like it might randomly break or snap, but will still be possible to do with some patience. It should also work to the same degree on the Syntrofos.

Their phone and laptop are temporarily confiscated, however, for the time of the TDM. Patho-Gen can tell something is up with them (also, the laptop is more advanced than the computers they have so... curiosity), but when no werewolves ultimately pop out (or other magical effects), they will be shipped onward to Rowan. And though they would both arrive intact/unharmed, there might be some sort of evidence that yeah they've been poking at these things.
