Random thought/question
Iām about to start a project on a very large musical Tesla coil. Should I be worried about it potentially damaging my implants?
At least be mindful!
Iād wear a Faraday-gloveā¦ since I fried my FlexNT.

I screwed a sucker like this in a socket while it was live.

What? You got electrocuted and it disabled your flexNT implant?
These bulbs were designed for cameras like you might remember Weegee posing with.
It seemed to be a cheap entertainment trying to fry the bulb with 230V.
The bulb flashed, the iron filament mostly evaporated.
ā¦ you can imagine the restā¦ the chip is unresponsive since then.
gross. what a ācharmingā man

I actually canāt imagine that at all. Did the electricity or the flash disable your flexNT? Like, honestly, what are we even talking about here? Sorry if Iām being dense.
Once I get it out under my skin I photograph it, then shove it in a vial, post it to Amal and he might explain. I know how ridiculous it sounds, I had a stage of denial as well. It doesnāt change the fact that the chip is fired 
I could be off the Mark here, as itās a pretty big reach
But you quickly dumped a large current thru a small (usually coiled) firmament
Is it possible you made the 1900s equivalent of an Rfidkill emp?
The filament must have created a field that might have induced unwanted currents in the chip. The bulb was designed to operate on low voltage for a split second.
I learnt the lesson on the hard way. Iād suggest to do silly experiments with a diagnostic card first, rather then an implanted device. Trust me, itās much better to spend 40bucks on an accessory then Ā£xxx and the hassle on re-installing.
You didnāt happen to record it did you? 
Nope.
The fuse blew out, that had to be troubleshooted. I only noticed the issue in a few days.
I thought about everything(!) that could have caused this to happenā¦
Actually!!! I checked a bunch of junk (technical term) at the shop and one was a device that I had no clue what it was.
Do you know those devices that demagnetise mechanical watches that are rapidly gaining time? The larger antenna of the Flex could explain why the Vivokey at R3 was undamaged but the flex at R middle finger fried.
I remember thinking that box was some adapter. I felt the buzz for a split second with my magnet. In fact those demagnetisers are meant to fry the security NFC tags.
That would be a more plausible solution. I guess the flash with the blown fuse was literally a brighter memory compared to an odd device in a camera shop.
