Around the 12:15 mark, Mr. J. says something like “technomancers are not a device, and they can’t be targeted by things that specifically target devices”. . The core rulebook directly says otherwise. Now, not sure if this was meant to be errata’d out, but I don’t think it has been changed since printing yet.
Core Rulebook, page 252 (depending on which printing), under the “Resonance Library” header. Second paragraph starts with “Each complex form entry has a Target describing
what it works on. A complex form with a Device target
can also be used to target a persona.”
So things like Infusion/Diffusion of Matrix Attributes should work on a technomancer, as well as a Deck. It might seem odd at first, specially with things like Puppeteer, but Mages do have Control Actions/Thoughts available to them.
Living personas aren’t devices, but the rules directly explain that every CF that can be used on device can be used on a persona. It’s just a bad formatting/layout design issue of the book.

Came here to say this too.
