this is correct as far as I know. IOS reads NFC differently, if I remember right, in order for it to work natively, it has to support UFI. The vivokeys support it.

I can confirm, it’s a mighty fine MRI scanner detector.

welcome friend! now a cyborg in reality :}
An xg3 in the ring finger? I’m interested to see a picture!
It shouldn’t be too bad for sensing. I have one in the webing and it still works with strong fields so in the finger it should be just fine

I must not order an xG3, I must not order an xG3, I must not order an xG3…
But seriously, i must not order one. I don’t NEED one in my ring finger.
Edit. I want one though. Maybe I can sweet talk Amal into an extra needle for the spark og so I can get that in also. I was planning on ordering something so I can reuse the injection device. I just think the xg3 is likely overkill. If they ever go on sale, I would buy one no question.

BUT
Do you like the xG3? 
Do you like it, between you and me? 
You should get one if it’s free 
You could get one for a fee .
Would you like it here or there? 
You could lift things over there
You could lift things anywhere
Do you like the xG3?
Do you like it, between you and me?
Would you like it in your finger? 
Don’t hang around, do not linger 
You could get one for your Spark 
But don’t install it in the dark

Do you like the xG3?

I must not order an xG3
I must not order; one for me 
Damn it Amal, if you must insist 
Damn it Amal, I tried to resist 
Why with my arm, you must not twist 
I shake mine at you with my fist 
Send me one right away 
Send me one without delay 
Send me one within a needle
Denying you was so feeble 
Do you like the xG3?
Do you like it, between you and me?
Yes I do, it’s going to ship
Soon I’ll lift things, without a grip 
Showing people my party trick

the puncture is right towards the tip. This is day 2 and there is still a fair amount of swelling but Im happy with the placement. Pain level made me gasp, but I’ve been shot before so pain is all relative😉

, I’d prefer boring! My idiotic tale consisted of a drunk on a camping trip who found the keys to a friends trigger lock. Not exactly the thrilling stuff movies are made from!

I also would prefer boring. Mine happened in the middle of Afghanistan. So it is the stuff movies are made of.

Yeah you do. Geeze
Not anymore, iOS 13+ allows background nfc reading on the iPhone XR and up
In your line of work, I have a feeling you really shouldn’t. For one thing, you couldn’t approach a MRI machine anymore. That would make parts of your workplace off-limit for you. Not a great career move I would think

I rarely work with MRI machines. I have had more done to me in 5 years than I have been around with patients. I would just tape my finger up before I went in.
I doubt it would rip out. I almost promise it would be uncomfortable though.
I also wouldn’t tell my employer
There have been anecdotes where small mags like the m31 felt painful but could be held or taped, but a couple people have tried enduring larger ones and could not complete the procedure… but of course… anecdotes.
Also another anecdote - supposedly there are locations in 3D space and associated angles at which you can hold magnets while entering an MRI that sort of negate the pull. No idea if that’s even possible, but ok.
It doesn’t sound like you’re really in that situation, but I know if anything you do has any chance of interfering with your work duties and you don’t inform your employer, that’s ground for termination when an issue comes up. In your case, you may not work very often with MRI machines, but the day someone asks you to go in there and do something, and you tell them you can’t, you might have a problem.
Another issue I can think of: imagine some idiot patient learns that you have an implant and complains that you “magnetized” their blood sample and skewed their results. You and I know it’s impossible and plain mumbo-jumbo, but you might be called in your supervisor’s office to explain yourself, and they might decide to let you go following the precautionary principle. You’d be surprised how irrationally companies can behave when it comes to avoiding lawsuits. It’s not very likely, but I bet it could happen.
There was a guy who worked as a machine tool operator for years in the factory I worked for years ago. One day his shift manager discovered he was color-blind because he mistook one red light for a green light, and fortunately the machine went into alarm just in time before the headstock caught onto his sleeve. He got the sack for failing to mention it during his interview, and so did the company doctor who failed to test him at each checkup.
Me, I don’t work with anything dangerous. But I do disclose anything I undertake that I reckon has even a remote chance of creating an issue at work. At least if something does happen, it’s on record, and the onus is on my employer if they failed to take appropriate actions.
