Cyborg fish? How come there are no fish tanks in the fluffy cyborg thread?

Do you have a fluffy fish to share?

Logging in to Windows 10 with Rohos

Long story short, I just transitioned from service technician to service manager at my job. Now I’m doing mostly office work. I would like to find an alternative to typing my 20 character password all day

I read about the ACR122U and Rohos. The ACR122U is not in stock currently with DT. is there an alternative or better solution since the topic I quoted above was posted.

Ideally I would like a scanner with onboard memory, where I could change the output as I change my login password, and it would be saved to the device not a certain computer. I would reference Logitechs macro software that works on the device, I believe. I’ve got a NExT in my left hand that’s been waiting for an opportunity just like this.

Thank y’all for any input.

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Rohos a great option.
I know some people are having success with the ACR1252u.

My quick and dirty alternative, is an off the shelf suggestion (but no memory like you are wanting)

an HF and LF reader in one like this

(****) Dual Frequency Desktop Reader

Dual Frequency Desktop Reader to replace my original KBR1

Prefix why I was looking to replace my KBR1

I had one of the original <a href="https://dangerousthings.com/product/kbr1/">KBR1</a> readers and have had it for many years, but the performance was never great, and when you see the size of the antenna, you understand why, although it works well with a full sized card. that version has been replaced / upgraded. Link to the newer more reliable <a href="https://da…

You could change the LF side of your NExT whenever a change needs to happen.
and or you can add a prefix and or suffix you manually type.

Another one, that I really like and I have built a couple of my own (i need to do a write up)

PN5180 ESP32 Bluetooth keyboard wedge

I have tried quite a lot of readers for my NeXT tag now, and most perform similarily. Except for the latest one, the PN5180. The range towards my implanted NeXT chip is about the double compared to the other readers, at about 2cm. This is very good in my experience. That’s why I of course needed to make a keyboard wedge of this one as well. This time around I decided to make a proper enclosure, and also add some functionality. The case I’ve used is a decommisined IKEA Vindriktning, an…

Super clever design and usability.
That should serve your purpose perfectly

[JPlowman]

Thank you for the quick response. I’ll dig more into these later today.

This sounds like a good solution.

Definitely the strangest ergonomic keyboard I’ve stumbled across.

[Hamspiced]

As someone that hates Alice layouts… this gives me anxiety.

[enginerd]

I touch type, but I’m not using that thing…

At least it appears to have plenty of space for an NFC reader.

[StarGazer1258]

That’s an awesome find! I daily-drive Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and love it. It’s great for RSI, especially during long programming sessions. I’ve actually been looking for a decent mechanical ergonomic keyboard, dut dang are they expensive. The ZSA Moonlander is at the top of my list rn. It looks amazing, but $365 is a hard pill to swallow for a keyboard. (I’m sure all the keyboard nerds are scoffing at that price)

[Jammyjellyfish]

I found some ACR122Us on eBay a while back. I bought a bunch and then found out that their firmware is problematic on Linux. I could sell you a few if you’re interested. They’re open box/like new. Authentic as far as I can tell. Wrote to my flexsecure perfectly fine.

[Hamspiced]

The Keychain Q pro series is an excellent board and the quality and support are top notch.

They have several different layouts and are highly customizable. Entry is usually a hair under 200$

@StarGazer1258

$365 is a hard pill to swallow for a keyboard.

Put $1 aside every day for 1 year and you’ll have yourself the keyboard of your dreams in no time…well, in a year

[Hamspiced]

Before i got into custom mechs my mindset was that i wouldnt spend mor ethan 50$ on a keyboard. And i am on mine easily 8-10hrs a day. i dipped my toes into a Keychron Q1. next thing i know im buying 600$ limited run keyboards.

its a slippery slope.

@JPlowman

I would like to find an alternative to typing my 20 character password all day

Is this your windows account password? I think @Vicarious had a project using a Pi or something that held a password in memory and typed that when an authenticated chip was scanned.

[enginerd]

There’s also this project:

Improved keyboard wedge

So, I have a half working prototype of an improved keyboard wedge. So far I can pull a passphrase from a random location on a mifare 1k. Tomorrow I will start work on the USB keyboard output portion.

Also, @Zwack, I haven’t seen you in a while. How the fuck are you? And did Amal finally manage to get under your skin?

[Hamspiced]

Yes thank you for asking

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@amal

@Vicarious had a project […] that held a password in memory and typed that when an authenticated chip was scanned

Yep.
I had it bookmarked.
As far as I can tell, 2 of the links are now dead.
The Dangerous minds one, that had the info to build your own from the original design.
(I MIGHT have a copy of it SOMEWHERE.)

and the v.icario.us one is also dead.
He does however seel the finished readers on/ Digiwell

Here is the link.

Unloki Smart-Reader

If you’re not in the EU, Postage is pretty high

Everything I have read about them indicates they are great little readers.

Pretty sure @Vicarious has a Git.
It might be on that
