What kind of work? You can still use your hand to type/hold things just don’t stress it too much. Of course the less the better but for mosts jobs it should be fine if you’re careful
I’ve honestly hired @tac0s because I’m so far behind on so many things… he’s now helping DT in an official capacity to get things all caught up (and then some).

I’m the hardware quality manager for a company that does IT for Restaurants. I take a lot of point of sale and computer junk apart. A magnet is going to be so useful.
I happen to be taking medical leave for a different reason at the beginning of March, so I figured it would be perfect to get it installed before that so everything could heal together!

Yay! Congrats to both of you!
And wow! It only took an hour and 8 minutes from order confirmation to getting a tracking number email for the xG3 I just ordered. That’s impressive!

So, now that I’ve ordered an xG3, I’m getting anxious about my old lady hands. I was originally thinking L1, but I know someone who has a magnet in her wrist too. Do I have enough meat on my bones to support an L1 install? Or would it be better for it go in my wrist???
Yes, I have less meat than you and I’m fine. These placements are quite nice and safe since the implant is cradled between two bones but still resting on soft stuff. I have my xsiid there.
The install is trickier than elsewhere but a professional will do it fine. Tent the skin a lot to avoid veins. Also avoid veins altogether with a magnet because sticking something to it might pinch it. So on the photo mabe stay lower.
I don’t have a magnet there , my xG3s are on p0 and the not-knife-edge, but it looks like a nice place to hold screws!

Got my Titan installed back at the end of January and it’s been feeling pretty solid. Able to detect vibrations from the microwave and large power bricks, so I figured it was well past time to try out my Lodestone Pico for real. Gotta say, it’s really wild!
I plugged it into my iPhone 15 Pro and cranked up the volume. I started out with something nice and simple: the theme from Super Mario Bros. I could totally follow along with the song and it was easy to feel the difference between the louder and softer parts. I’d heard that the magnet vibrating was audible, so I stuck my finger in my ear, with the Pico blasting at my Titan through my fingernail. Sure enough, I could hear it with remarkable clarity, even with more complicated audio.

So glad to see people are enjoying it! It’s a simple idea but there is potential to do so much with it
