Would be cool to have a remote control device that mechanically opens/closes the tubes, built-in security layer for ensuring only you can unlock it, auto-lock, etc. If the tech-bro venture capitalists weren't weirdos about spreading their genes around maybe this would be a thing.

Your subscription to fertility has expired. Please renew your credit card details in the next 90 days or your balls will be perma-locked.

It's actually super easy to root your ball controls and run a minimal install, check out some of the projects on github. Compatibility is like 90% there.

You want.... Smart balls? Smart tech can't even make toast right but you want it in your balls???!?!

I mean I would only accept the FOSS option for my balls (or lack thereof), but yeah I want like a diabetes insulin pump but for balls. Could add a bunch of quirks and features in there too like a hardening protective mesh and RGB. Why stop there just go full tech-penis.

Too lazy to search for it, but there was some swiss dude who literally had mechanical valves implanted into his sperm ducts.
