CYBORG EDC
As the title suggests, This is a thread for your suggestions for what Cyborgs should have with them on a daily Basis to make their augmentation complementary to the world around them…
Nah, that shit is too deep, Post below stuff you reccomend to use with their implants.
Hardware, software, who cares!?, just cool shit!!!
Similar BUT different to the
whats-it-gots-in-its-pocketses
And
As the idea came from here, What better place to start!?
A next generation multitool for human augmentations
A community-driven app, being developed independently, for implantable technologies and human augmentations.
ZINC is a slick environment to manage, study and enjoy your bio-tech. Most of all it’s an experimentation platform for games, alternate reality experiences, low-level tools, and standardized tests around implantable tech.
It features modernized NFC tools specifically designed for cyborgs.
ZINC also includes biomagnet features most of which work in tandem with the LODESTONE haptic devices that can be made DIY or ordered online.
[Warning, the app is and might always be under development so features can be experimental or evolve. Some features require a USB-C port and/or an external gadget (Lodestone)]
It can also be found outside of Google Play

There is a bunch of stuff for Cyborg EDC on the Midwest Gadgets Store.
But my top/ first pick in the draft,
I carry a spare between my phone and phone case, and another in my “RFID Tool kit” that I keep in my bag (i’ll do a show and tell at some stage)
At times you’ll occasionally come across a reader and you’ll just be curious what frequency it’s using.
Other times you’ll know exactly what a reader is using but you can’t quite get your implant to read.
May I suggest some version of an LED field detector?
You’ll be able to tell what frequency the reader is using, how often it checks for cards, and the best position to place your implant.
You could just skip this and get a pair of xLED implants, one for each frequency if you prefer.
Nobody else? Well I have another one.
For all of you who use their implants for some form of access control, I’m sure there’s been a time somebody else needed to get access to that thing, but you didn’t feel like going with them.
Grab some RFID fobs in your favorite flavor, Magic MIFARE 1k GenX, T5577, whatever you fancy.
10 packs usually come in at under $10, so go crazy.
Or, if you want to be fancy and just keep one backup on you, grab the ring equivalent. This one has a T5577 and a Magic MIFARE Gen4 (I tested it myself).
DT also has something similar of higher quality:
I carry a good old magnetic viewing film, can be found everywhere including with the DT magnets.
Fits in my wallet and is handy when showing the magnets to someone.
Apparently there’s such a thing as “high res” film (yellow):

Ever tried that?
It just makes sense.
A cheap surrogate of what is beneath your skin, If you are going to fuck around with something, and risk fucking it up, do it with a card.
I carry a test card in my bag for every implant I own.
A very useful and purposeful $20-$40 investment.
Too obvious? Probably. But to the one of you who hasn’t heard of it yet, the Flipper’s great for implants and general tomfoolery
Not at all. I normally carry my flipper, 4-5 mfgc and a field detector in my wallet.
Got an oddball one I forgot I had.
Most phones have an emergency info feature that could be useful in, for example, a motor accident that leaves you unconscious. It normally contains info like your name, blood type, any major allergies (ie penicillin, peanuts), any other notes, like conditions that might be useful to note, and usually an emergency contact or two.
What info you give is up to you, and what info is useful is up for debate, but I digress.
Some people opt to put a paper card in their wallet instead, or both.
This is something you should probably have, cyborg or not, but some of you may choose to mention implants in case it comes up.
“MRI-Safe bioglass-encapsulated RFID implant approximately 14mm long and 2mm wide located between 1st and 2nd metacarpals in right hand.”
The chances of it being an issue are insanely low, but if, say, your hand is a bit mangled in a car accident, it might just prevent the surgeon working on you from removing a wanted foreign object.
